520 "From the award-winning author of Hide Me Among the Graves,
Last Call, Declare, and Three Days to Never, a
phantasmagoric, thrilling, mind-bending tale of
speculative fiction in which one man must uncover occult
secrets of 1920s Hollywood to save his family.In the wake
of their Aunt Amity's suicide, Scott and Madeline Madden
are summoned to Caveat, the eerie, decaying mansion in the
Hollywood hills in which they were raised. But their
decadent and reclusive cousins, the malicious wheelchair-
bound Claimayne and his sister, Ariel, do not welcome
Scott and Madeline's return to the childhood home they
once shared. While Scott desperately wants to go back to
their shabby South-of-Sunset lives, he cannot pry his
sister away from this haunted "House of Usher in the
Hollywood Hills" that is a conduit for the
supernatural.Decorated by bits salvaged from old hotels
and movie sets, Caveat hides a dark family secret that
stretches back to the golden days of Rudolph Valentino and
the silent film stars. A collection of hypnotic eight-
limbed abstract images inked on paper allows the Maddens
to briefly fragment and flatten time--to transport
themselves into the past and future in visions that are
both puzzling and terrifying. Though their cousins know
little about these ancient "spiders" which provoke
unpredictable temporal dislocations, Ariel and Claimayne
have been using for years--an addiction that has brought
Claimayne to the brink of selfish destruction.As Madeline
falls more completely under Caveat's spell, Scott
discovers that to protect her, he must use the perilous
spiders himself. But will he unravel the mystery of the
Madden family's past and finally free them. or be pulled
deeper into their deadly web?"--|cProvided by publisher.
