Synopsis
A black family tries to unravel the secrets of their new home which was once a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Life changes for 13-year-old Thomas Small when he and his family relocate to Ohio where they take up residence in a house that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. As both an African-American and a history professor, Thomas's father is particularly interested in the house although his wife and children are disconcerted about another aspect of the house's history: the former owner, abolitionist Dies Drear, and two runaway slaves were murdered there. As Thomas explores the underground tunnels and secret passages of the house, he senses danger and even comes to believe that the house's elderly caretaker, an eccentric man named Mr. Pluto, might be the devil himself. Working closely with his father, Thomas struggles to understand the history of, and mystery behind, the House of Dies Drear. The story of THE HOUSE OF DIES DREAR continues in THE MYSTERY OF DREAR HOUSE.
