The September House By Carissa Orlando

In The September House, Margaret and her husband Hal move into their dream Victorian home on Hawthorn Street, only to find it plagued by supernatural horrors. Every September, the house becomes a nightmarish realm where blood drips from the walls, ghosts of former occupants appear, and something sinister lurks in the basement. While most would abandon the property, Margaret is determined to stay.

Four years later, the hauntings have driven Hal to abandon the house and their family. Margaret's daughter, Katherine, arrives to search for her missing father, unaware of the house's dark secrets. As September unfolds, the hauntings intensify, and Margaret and Katherine find themselves ensnared in a web of terror and mystery.

In this debut novel, Margaret’s resilience is tested against a backdrop of chilling hauntings and emotional turmoil. The story weaves together suspense, dark humor, and an exploration of familial bonds, as the house's secrets threaten to unravel their lives.
