A haunting mystery. Hidden secrets.
A door that should never have been opened...

In small-town Texas in the 1970s, Tara Cantrell always suspected her dreams were speaking to her. Then the impossible happens: Jeffrey, a classmate with secrets of his own, appears inside one of them. Drawn together by forces they don’t yet understand, Tara and Jeffrey uncover an ancient history tied to an eerie old house and a doorway that connects two worlds. The Brick Room is not simply a place; it is a message, a warning, and a trap. The Brick Room weaves small-town secrets with supernatural suspense in a story about connection, courage, and what waits on the other side of the door. Perfect for readers who love haunting mysteries and have always wondered whether their dreams are trying to tell them something.
