The September House By Carissa Orlando

In The September House, a gripping debut novel by Carissa Orlando, Margaret and Hal's dream of owning a large Victorian home on Hawthorn Street turns into a haunting nightmare. Despite the home's unnervingly affordable price, they soon discover its terrifying secret: every September, blood drips from the walls, and the ghosts of past inhabitants roam, all fearing a sinister presence lurking in the basement.

Margaret, however, refuses to leave. Determined to make the house her home, she endures the supernatural disturbances year after year. But after four years of relentless hauntings, Hal can no longer tolerate the terror and abruptly abandons both Margaret and their daughter, Katherine, who is unaware of the ghosts' presence.

When Katherine arrives to search for her missing father, the haunting intensifies, becoming more menacing with each passing day. As Margaret and Katherine delve deeper into the mystery of Hal's disappearance, they are forced to confront not only the malevolent forces in the house but also the dark secrets it harbors. In a story that combines eerie suspense with dark humor and emotional depth, The September House explores themes of resilience, family, and the lengths one will go to for the sake of home. 📚❤️
