The year is 1853. President-elect Franklin Pierce is traveling with his family to Washington, DC, when tragedy strikes. In an instant, their train runs off the rails, violently flinging passengers about the cabin. But when the great iron machine finally comes to rest, the only casualty is the President-elect's beloved son, Bennie, which casts Franklin's presidency in a pall of sorrow and grief. As Franklin moves into the White House, he begins to notice that something bizarre is happening. Strange sounds coming from the walls and ceiling, creepy voices that seem to echo out of time itself, and visions of spirits crushed under the weight of American history. But when First Lady Jane Pierce brings in the most noted Spiritualists of the day, the Fox sisters, for a seÌance, the barrier between this world and the next is torn asunder. Something horrible comes through and takes up residence alongside Franklin and Jane in the walls of the very mansion itself. Only by overcoming their grief and confronting their darkest secrets can Jane and Franklin hope to rid themselves-and America-from the entity that seeks to make the White House its permanent home"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Pierce, Franklin, $d 1804-1869 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Pierce, Jane M. $q (Jane Means), $d 1806-1863 $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Pierce, Franklin, $d 1804-1869. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00005966 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 610 20 $a White House (Washington, D.C.) $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Pierce, Jane M. $q (Jane Means), $d 1806-1863. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00113989 650 0 $a Haunted places $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pyper, Andrew. $t The residence. $b First Skybound Books/Gallery Books hardcover edition $d New York : Skybound Book ; Gallery Books, 2020 $z 9781982149079 $w (DLC) 2020008539 941 $a 6 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035435.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062208.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063651.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011724.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20201215011617.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20201002011256.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEA32928F71811EAA2305FF34CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
