Search - The Deceased

Very confusing for me. It jumped back and forth in time and the characters memory quickly.

From the back of the book:
something is calling Jacob Maelstrom back to the isolated home of his childhood - to the scene of a living nightmare that almost cost him his life. Ten years ago his sister slaughtered their brother and parents, locked Jacob in a closet...then committed a hideaous suicide. Now as the anniversary of that dark night approaches, Jacob is drawn back to a house where the line between the living and the dead is constatnly shifting.

But there's more than awful memories waiting for Jacob at the Maelstrom mansion. There are depraved secrets, evil legacies, and family ghosts that are all too real. There's the long-dead writer, whose mad fantasies continue to shape reality. And in the woods there are nameless creatures who patiently await the return of their crator.
