520    "A spine-tingling and boldly original gothic horror novel.
       It's 2010, and the recently promoted Corporal Loyette and 
       his unit are finishing up their deployment at a new base 
       in Kajaki, Afghanistan. Their duties here are 
       straightforward--loading and unloading cargo into and out 
       of helicopters--and their days are a mix of boredom and 
       dread. The Brits they're replacing delight in telling them
       the history of the old barracks just off base, a Soviet-
       era militia house they claim is haunted, and Loyette and 
       his men don't need much convincing to make a clandestine 
       trip outside the wire to explore it. It's a short, middle-
       of-the-day adventure, but the men experience a mounting 
       agitation after their visit to the militia house. In the 
       days that follow they try to forget about the strange, 
       unsettling sights and sounds from the house, but things 
       are increasingly . . . not right. Loyette becomes 
       determined to ignore his and his marines' growing unease, 
       convinced that it's just the strain of war playing tricks 
       on them. But something about the militia house will not 
       let them go. Meticulously plotted and viscerally immediate
       in its telling, The Militia House is a gripping and 
       brilliant exploration of the unceasing horrors of war 
       that's no more easily shaken than the militia house 
       itself"--|cProvided by publisher.
