Ghost murder? The Hour Before Dark by Douglas Clegg - book trailer

One of the strangest cases of murder in New England history was the recent murder of Gordon Raglan, on Burnley Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. He was found in the smokehouse, off the edge of his farming property, as if he'd been nearly obliterated by the killer. Yet, not a trade of evidence could link the crime to any possible suspect.

How was Gordon Raglan murdered?

The police said it could not be solved - in winter, in the smokehouse where Nemo and his brother and sister had played their Dark Game as children, the body had been found.

Was the place haunted? Or was some maniac loose on Burnley Island?

Find out more in The Hour Before Dark by Douglas Clegg the harrowing account of the mystery of the house called Hawthorne.

As children, they played the Dark Game...

When Nemo Raglan's father is murdered in one of the most vicious killings of recent years, Nemo must return to the New England island he thought he had escaped for good, Burnley Island . . . and the shadowy farmhouse called Hawthorn.

But this murder was no crime of human ferocity. What butchered Nemo's father may in fact be something far more terrifying--something Nemo and his younger brother, Bruno, and sister, Brooke, have known since childhood.

"Here comes a candle to light you to bed . . .

And here comes a chopper to chop off your head."

The movie was optioned, with script by Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar.

Facts: Based on two islands off the coast of New England called Fisher's Island and Martha's Vineyard.

Clegg visited Martha's Vineyard as a teenager and adult, and has explored Fisher's Island by bicycle.

Clegg lives on the coast of New England, currently.

One character was inspired by the story of John McCain when he was a POW and Clegg was in high school with McCain's son. Clegg didn't know Obama back then, but he wanted to give him equal time in this note out of fairness.

Clegg chose the name Nemo for his protagonist because of Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- a childhood love of Clegg's.

Clegg believes many children play "dark games" - those secret rituals and games that get one through traumatic moments of chilhood, which need to be discarded or worked-through once one reaches adulthood.

Clegg's background includes magazine work, TV work, and publishing. He has been writing fiction since he was eight years old.

Clegg's father was an officer in the Navy, in submarines, but bears no resemblance to Gordon Raglan in the novel.

While The Hour Before Dark is a work of fiction, Douglas Clegg believes that there can be hauntings, even if it's a psychological issue for the person being haunted - doesn't make it any less real.

Clegg's favorite popular horror novel: a toss-up between Stephen King's The Shining and Thomas Tryon's The Other.
