[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The story recounts some of the bizarre and inexplicable events that have taken place in a notorious house in the town of Castle Rock. As the incidents increase, the house has additional wings added, so the house literally takes on a life of its own, growing in what seems proportion to the awful things that continue to happen. There seem to be unsettling similarities to the house in the story, and the Marsten House from Salem's Lot and the titular house from Black House.
