The Horror Within Rachel Cox

Thirty-eight-year-old Marcia Evans has spent her adult life as a struggling actress, unable to penetrate that barrier which prevents her from having the "big break" all aspiring actors and actresses hope to achieve which will move her career to the next level. She works part-time at a day job and does small acting gigs on the side. She is tired of her lifestyle and of life in the big city. Marcia eventually discovers a charming house set in the woods while traveling to an acting job at a theater outside of the city. She learns that the original owners, who were killed in a car accident twenty years after the house was built, were retirees who enjoyed aiding transients and runaways. The house passed on to the niece of the wife, who died only five years after moving into the house at a very young age. Using part of her grandmother's inheritance, Marcia purchases the house from the son of the deceased owner for a suspiciously low price. She moves into the house and rents a room out to Stephen Gomaz, a co-worker at her job and with whom she falls in love. But chronic illness, terrifying nightmares, and strange paranormal activity cause Marcia to question the true character of the original owners and the events that may have happened in the house. With the aid of a deputy sheriff and a psychic, the horrifying truth of the house is revealed.
