THE CLOSED DOOR

The Closed Front Door
What do doors signify to us? A closed door can indicate that no one is welcomed or that no one is home. On the other hand, an open door can be beckoning for us to enter. By having a closed door on the front cover of a book raises the question of what lies behind the door and whether it should be opened.

My book, The Dead Game, reveals a closed door with smokey shapes curling around it. This door points to a house that isn’t waiting for guests or interested in any visitors. In this case, it would be wiser to stay away. Run far away if you can.

Without heeding the warning, the characters enter the deserted mansion. The house appears to be empty. No one is there to meet them besides empty rooms, dead bodies, and traps.
The red door on The Dead Game cover has warned readers that End House must be entered with care. The residents disregard the closed door and the unwelcome silence. They enter a house full of traps and secret passageways. Only some of their group make it out alive.

What would you do if you were faced with a closed door to an eerie deserted house?  Would you turn around and run? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Unfortunately, the young residents of Oasis didn’t run but stepped through the doorway into a deserted house with powers of its own. But who is running this house? Humans or vampires? Or maybe it’s computerized. They don’t have long to wait before the house turns on them. They must find out who is running the evil game and everyone else in town.
