The Dreadful Objects — Chris Cooper

After losing his partner in a tragic car crash, Jamie Lawson is lost. With little more than TV and his Australian cattle dog to keep him company, an unexpected reprieve comes in the form of an inheritance from an uncle whom he barely knows. As Jamie settles the estate of his late uncle, the author of an unfinished horror trilogy, he discovers the strange circumstances surrounding his uncle's suicide. Now, Jamie must uncover the truth behind his uncle's mysterious passing while attempting to rebuild a life of his own. And as he soon discovers -- it may not be his own life that he's rebuilding. Jamie expected to find the obscure possessions of a reclusive author behind the walls of Turner House, but he never expected to come face to face with his uncle's nightmarish creations.
