September House

Author's name: Carissa Orlando

When Margaret and her husband Hal bought their dream Victorian home for a bargain price, they thought they had fulfilled a lifelong wish. But they soon discovered the true price: the house is haunted, especially in September, when the walls drip blood and the ghosts of former residents emerge, terrified by something in the cellar.
But Margaret isn't like the others. Instead of running away, she makes her own rules: ignore the ghosts, don't look at them, carry on with your life. She's made living with the terror a daily routine. But four years later, Hal breaks down and disappears suddenly, leaving Margaret to face the mystery of his disappearance.
Things become even more complicated with the arrival of Catherine, the daughter who knows nothing of the house's true nature, but who is determined to uncover her father's fate. As September begins, the paranormal activity intensifies, and the house becomes more hostile than ever. Can Margaret protect her daughter from the terrifying truth hidden within its walls, or are the secrets of the house about to engulf them all?
Carissa Orlando, author with a PhD in clinical and community psychology, weaves deep psychological threads into this chilling tale. She doesn't just offer traditional horror, but a deep dive into family bonds, resilience, and the boundaries we might draw to protect those we love, even from frightening truths.
