Bookroo's summary

Identical twins Barry and Harry Krasner are tasked with house-sitting their great-uncle's farm. Initially tranquil, the farmhouse harbors a chilling secret that keeps locals at bay. Driven by curiosity, the twins focus on a locked shed, convinced it holds the key to the mystery. What they discover inside is beyond their darkest fears, threatening to unravel everything they thought they knew. Can they confront the horror lurking within, or will it tear them apart?

From the publisher

Barry and Harry Krasner are identical twins, but that’s where the resemblance stops. Barry’s more athletic, more aggressive - and he’s the one who suggests that they house-sit their great-uncle’s farm. Harry hopes that it will bring the two of them closer. And it does - because there’s something chilling about the farmhouse, something that makes the locals stay far away. The twins are sure that the locked shed on the property is the reason why - but what they find inside is far more horrible than their worst nightmare.
