The Mephistophelean House

The Mephistophelean House was the sort of House you might miss driving by, nondescript, unremarkable, indistinguishable from the all the other houses on the block, a House you'd find in any neighborhood, in any town, a House you'd remember a couple doors down. At the top of the stairs is a grim little room with a curious double hung window, and inside the room is an abnormal closet that leads to a windowless chamber. But when Matthew and Ben find a hole in the flue, upside down numbers on the wall, and a porcelain angel missing its eyes, they quickly discover the contract they signed has a clause that can never be broken. Matthew locks himself in his room and disappears. Ben uncovers a lien linked to an old book on The House on Asylum Road. In order to absolve the lien he must return to The House on Asylum Road and and find an oblong box which holds the key to The Mephistophelean House. Portland writer Benjamin Robert Carrico, author of The Independence Threshold, reconciles quantum physics and the paranormal in a relentless narrative of physiological horror. For the first time quantum interference and the many worlds interpretation provide a real connection between science and the supernatural in the pinnacle of fear, The Mephistophelean House.
