For years I’ve had the same dream.

In the dream, a quiet house sits at the end of a street.

Inside, children are trapped in a dark basement, crying for help.

No matter how hard I try, I can never reach them.

That dream became the inspiration for Never Knock.

In the story, Jill Miller moves to Balsam Street hoping to rebuild her life after the recent end of her marriage. The quiet cul-de-sac seems like the perfect place for a fresh start, until she notices the house at the very end of the street.

The house belongs to Mrs. Wren.

At first, the neighborhood feels peaceful. Friendly neighbors. Warm summer evenings. The comforting rhythm of an ordinary street.

But something about the Wren house feels wrong.

Jill begins hearing strange sounds at night, soft knocking inside the walls and faint cries that sound like children calling from somewhere below the ground. When a child’s mitten mysteriously appears and then vanishes inside her home, Jill realizes the house may be connected to something far darker than she imagined.

With the help of her ex-husband Mark, Jill begins uncovering disturbing secrets buried beneath the quiet surface of Balsam Street.

Because some houses keep their secrets well.

And sometimes the only warning you get is simple:

Never knock.

Inspired by the author’s own recurring dream, Never Knock is a chilling supernatural thriller about hidden truths, forgotten children, and the terrifying possibility that some dreams may be trying to tell us something real.
