The Haunting of Moscow House By Olesya Salnikova Gilmore

In this elegant gothic horror set in post-revolutionary Russia, two aristocratic sisters grapple with their family's dark history amidst the ruins of their ancestral home.

It's the summer of 1921, and Irina and Lili Goliteva’s grand Moscow mansion has been seized by Bolsheviks. The once-majestic estate is now a symbol of their fall from grace, as the sisters are relegated to a cramped attic while the officials occupy the opulent downstairs rooms. As they adjust to their new reality in Soviet Russia, the sisters try to forget their noble past, but the house begins to whisper of long-buried traumas.

Desperate for a change, Irina and Lili secure positions with the American Relief Administration, which provides them with much-needed sustenance and employment. For Irina, it’s an opportunity to aid the less fortunate; for Lili, a chance to channel her artistic talents into a meaningful cause. The ARA offers a glimmer of hope and even a chance at love.

However, their respite is short-lived as the spirits of their deceased relatives begin to stir, revealing the horrific truths of their family's fate during the Revolution. The haunting becomes more tangible when an official living in the mansion is found dead. Was his death the result of supernatural forces or human malice?

To uncover the truth behind the sinister occurrences and protect themselves from impending danger, Irina and Lili must delve into a past that the living are forbidden to remember. Only by confronting the chilling secrets of the Moscow House can they hope to unravel the mystery and safeguard their future. 📚❤️
