A new millennium is coming. But some houses don't let go of the past. Sixteen-year-old Beth Cooper isn't thrilled when her parents decide to uproot the family from city life. She's even less impressed when she learns their bold new dream: to turn a derelict old mansion into a luxury countryside hotel. The place? Hadlow House. Abandoned since a devastating fire in the 1920s. Or so they think. As renovations begin, the family is quickly unsettled by strange phenomena – whispers in the walls, footsteps on the stairs, a thick tension that hangs in the air like smoke. Beth can feel it watching her. Studying her. And whatever it is, it doesn't want to be disturbed. The deeper her parents dig into Hadlow House's crumbling foundations, the more Beth becomes convinced they're waking something up. Something ancient. Something that remembers. 1999 is the twelfth and penultimate installment in The Haunting of Hadlow House, a sweeping gothic horror epic chronicling centuries of secrets, sacrifice, and supernatural terror. Some renovations should never be started. Some houses should never be lived in.
