They think it could be the house of their dreams, only to discover that it's the house of their nightmares instead.
Who is the old woman who takes care of the house? What happened to the owners? And who are these strange townspeople who all seem aware that a new young couple has moved into the house in the woods? Laurel searches for the truth of what's happening, and why, only to find herself needing desperately to escape. In A House in the Woods 2, Laurel and Jeremy are enjoying their life in Strickland, New Jersey.
Everything is perfect, including their daughter who is about to celebrate her first birthday.

The townspeople insist on a birthday party for the child. But what do they really want? And why has Laurel been having nightmares since the birth of her daughter, troubling dreams that she comes to believe are really memories? The more she uncovers, the more she knows she is in the fight of her life ...
but who is she fighting against? The stakes could not be higher, as A House in the Woods 2 concludes this supernatural chiller.
