Anxieties over marriage, home and work amplify the eeriness of Golden's engrossing suburban horror novel. Michael and Jillian Dansky are heading home from a Halloween party when they give a young girl on the road a lift to a strange old mansion. She leaves them with the injunction to "come find me," and suddenly their lives are no longer the same. Michael, art director at an advertising firm, begins to incorporate the girl's features into his illustrations. When he tries to locate the house and its road, he can't. Then a coven of grotesque, wraithlike women attack him and Jillian, who's transformed into a brittle and bitchy harridan. Michael realizes his survival depends on retracing his steps on that fateful night and finding the elusive girl.

Michael and Jillian Dansky seemed to have it all. Until the night when, driving home from a Halloween masquerade, Michael momentarily nods off behind the wheel--and wakes to find everything changed. By his car stands the young girl he nearly ran down. She leads Michael to an empty house haunted by whispers and sends him away with a whisper of her own: "Comefind me." In the weeks to come, it's clear that someone--or something doesn't want the girl found. And when a cold, cruel, vindictive woman awakens one morning in the guise of his wife, Michael's search suddenly isn't just for the missing girl, but for the Jillian he loves and may have 10st forever...on Wildwood Road.
