To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There's Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: "Can I go inside your heart?" 

When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the same question, over and over... Bela understands that unless she says yes, soon her family must pay. 

Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents' marriage. The safety Bela relies on is on the brink of unraveling. 

But Other Mommy needs an answer. 

"Incidents Around the House" is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror told by the child Bela. A story about a family as haunted as their home.
