title: House of Four Seasons
author: McDaniels, Abigail
description: Subject of myth and legend, the wisteria-shrouded mansion stood derelict, crumbling into the Louisiana bayou until architect Lauren Hamilton rescued it from the encroaching swamps. She swore the Padgett House would open a new chapter in her unhappy life, and for a while it fulfilled her every need.
  
  Then things began to appear and disappear…lights flickered on and off…and a deep phantom voice that Lauren knew couldn't be real seemed to call for her from the secret shadows and dark recesses of the wood-paneled rooms.
  
  Lauren knew she shouldn't be frightened, but there was something soothing in the voice that disturbed her sleep and haunted her days -- something familiar that promised a long-forgotten joy that she had once known in another time, another place.
