Black Creek Crossing
Black Creek Crossing is a thriller horror novel by John Saul, published by Ballantine Books on March 16, 2004. The novel follows the story of teenage Angel Sullivan, who moves into a new house in a new town with her family, and she learns of a brutal murder that occurred in her new home, and begins to think it may be haunted.
Marty Sullivan is fired from his construction job when he drunkenly injures a coworker. At the same time, his wife Myra’s sister Joni Fletcher, who is a real estate agent, calls to tell her she has found an extremely affordable house for the family in Roundtree, where she lives with her husband Ed and son Zach. Realizing Marty is unlikely to find more work in their area, the Sullivans decide to at least look at the house.
Myra has misgivings when she learns the reason the house is so cheap is because one of the former owners had killed his wife and child there years before. No one wanted the house after that, and it could not be torn down due to it being 300 years old, so the price was incredibly low.
The first night in the house, Angel, the Sullivan’s teen daughter, has a disturbing dream of a girl on fire standing in her closet. She also finds a cat, whom she names Houdini, because he comes and goes as he pleases.
On the first day of school, Angel meets and befriends Seth Baker, a small, shy boy whom a lot of the other kids pick on.. Angie tells Seth about her strange dream, and Seth tells Angie that he has been taking pictures of the house recently, including one in which the house appears to be on fire, and one which Seth believes shows an image of a ghost.
Meanwhile, despite Ed Fletcher giving him a good job, Marty gets suspended on his first day of work for unsafe practices that end up injuring both himself and his new boss. He leaves work, gets drunk and comes to find Seth in Angel’s room which enrages him. He physically throws Seth out of the house and calls Angel a whore. He also removes the lock from Angel’s door.
That night he goes to Angel’s room and begins to fondle her but is attacked and driven off by Houdini. Terrified, Angel convinces herself she dreamed the whole thing until the next morning when Marty comes to breakfast with a bandaged face. Angel tries to tell Myra what happened but Myra slaps her and calls her a liar.
While having lunch with Joni, Myra learns there are a lot more rumors about her new home than what Joni let on. The rumors are the house is haunted, and no one lives in it for more than a few months at a time. There has also been a history of suicides connected to the house.
