Does anyone remember this book? (it's horror/suspense)?

Question

When I was an early teen (say around thirteen, although i had been reading stephen king when i was around ten, so don't let that fool you) which would make this around 1997, although the book might have been old... I got a book from the library and feverishly devoured it. It was a trilogy and I couldn't get the last book, and never read it... Completely forgot about it until I was wikipedia surfing and read a bout the Shining and how it was inspired by The Haunting of Hill House... The title seemed familiar and I read up on it, and it reminds me greatly of my forgotten trilogy... except it's not a trilogy.

So, this trilogy... I recall it being about a girl and a boy in a house. The house seems to be alive, or it has ghosts that are after them. I believe they have to stay there for the summer because of their parents? Not sure. It seemed to have Edward Gorey-esque fronts to the books. I would really appreciate an answer so I could read it and finish the book.

Answer 1

That sounds like a book I would enjoy, but somehow I missed it.

I don't recognize the plot, but here are a couple of other sites where you can post your question:

A lot of times you'll get an answer quicker from one of these sites than you'll get here.

If you find it, drop me an email and let me know what it is.

Answer 2

Reminds me of Dark Secrets

I don't think that one is old enough.  I once read a book called The House On Hackman's Hill.

Let's see here is a link to it.

My third guess would be Stine's 99 Fear Street: House of Evil Trilogy

Actually it sounds like it might be House of Evil.  The first book has two girls in it not a girl and a boy but the girls' names are Cally and Kody.
