Hell House
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
Some houses do not keep secrets. They feed on them. In Hell House, a physicist and two mediums enter an infamous estate to test whether life after death exists, only to find a place shaped by cruelty, corruption, and psychic terror. This is haunted house horror at its bleakest, built on dread, spiritual unrest, and the slow collapse of reason.

About the book
In this supernatural thriller that’s “cruel, bone-chlling, and destined to become a classic” (Nick Cutter), bestselling horror author Ania Ahlborn asks: How far would you go for success? What would you be capable of if the promise of forever was real?
With his marriage on the rocks and his life in shambles, washed-up true-crime writer Lucas Graham is desperate for a comeback, one more shot at the bestselling success he once enjoyed. His chance comes when he’s promised exclusive access to death row inmate Jeffrey Halcomb, the notorious cult leader and mass murderer who’s ready to break his silence after thirty years, and who contacted Lucas personally from his maximum-security cell.
With nothing left to lose, Lucas leaves New York to live and work from the scene of the crime: a split-level farmhouse on a gray-sanded beach in Washington State whose foundation is steeped in the blood of Halcomb’s diviners—runaways who were drawn to his message of family, unity, and unconditional love. There, Lucas sets out to capture the real story of the departed faithful. Except that he’s not alone. For Jeffrey Halcomb promised his devout eternal life…and within these walls, they’re far from dead.

About the book
Mexican Gothic meets Rebecca in this debut supernatural suspense novel, set in the aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, about a remote house, a sinister haunting, and the woman pulled into their clutches...
During the overthrow of the Mexican government, Beatriz’s father was executed and her home destroyed. When handsome Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes, Beatriz ignores the rumors surrounding his first wife’s sudden demise, choosing instead to seize the security that his estate in the countryside provides. She will have her own home again, no matter the cost.
But Hacienda San Isidro is not the sanctuary she imagined.
When Rodolfo returns to work in the capital, visions and voices invade Beatriz’s sleep. The weight of invisible eyes follows her every move. Rodolfo’s sister, Juana, scoffs at Beatriz’s fears—but why does she refuse to enter the house at night? Why does the cook burn copal incense at the edge of the kitchen and mark the doorway with strange symbols? What really happened to the first Doña Solórzano?
Beatriz only knows two things for certain: Something is wrong with the hacienda. And no one there will save her.
Desperate for help, she clings to the young priest, Padre Andrés, as an ally. No ordinary priest, Andrés will have to rely on his skills as a witch to fight off the malevolent presence haunting the hacienda and protect the woman for whom he feels a powerful, forbidden attraction. But even he might not be enough to battle the darkness.
Far from a refuge, San Isidro may be Beatriz’s doom.

About the book
Vera swore she would never return to the Crowder House, where her father buried his victims beneath the floorboards and her mother’s silence hung heavier than the walls. But when her estranged mother calls, she answers.
Coming home is hard enough, but Vera isn’t alone. An artist now lives in the guest house, scavenging pieces of her childhood for his work. Stranger still are the notes appearing in her father’s handwriting—messages no one alive should be leaving.
As Vera digs into the foundations of the house that raised her, she confronts the love she had for a father who was also a monster and the secrets her family never unearthed. Sarah Gailey’s Just Like Home is horror at its most intimate and disturbing.

Our take
Denial becomes its own haunting when a woman refuses to leave the house that keeps trying to warn her.

Choose your retailer
About the book
“Why run from a haunted house when you can stay and ignore the ghosts? Just when you thought you'd seen everything a haunted house novel could do, The September House comes along and delivers an eerie, darkly funny, and emotionally grounded book about the ghosts that haunt houses and marriages."– Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
A woman is determined to stay in her dream home even after it becomes a haunted nightmare in this compulsively readable, twisty, and layered debut novel.
When Margaret and her husband Hal bought the large Victorian house on Hawthorn Street—for sale at a surprisingly reasonable price—they couldn’t believe they finally had a home of their own. Then they discovered the hauntings. Every September, the walls drip blood. The ghosts of former inhabitants appear, and all of them are terrified of something that lurks in the basement. Most people would flee.
Margaret is not most people.
Margaret is staying. It’s her house. But after four years Hal can’t take it anymore, and he leaves abruptly. Now, he’s not returning calls, and their daughter Katherine—who knows nothing about the hauntings—arrives, intent on looking for her missing father. To make things worse, September has just begun, and with every attempt Margaret and Katherine make at finding Hal, the hauntings grow more harrowing, because there are some secrets the house needs to keep.

About the book
Darkness and death have come to Torch Falls. This is the last hour.
Horror novelist Jared Cole wakes from a coma with a terrifying curse: he can see souls—and experience the darkness growing inside them. The visions can be devastating and strike without warning.
Returning to his hometown to salvage his career, he’s triggered by an accident that opens a supernatural link with Kit, a cloudy-eyed boy whose seizures reveal horrifying prophecies. It’s a gateway between their souls—a dark door that should have stayed sealed.
A parasitic shadow emerges from the breach, infecting minds with thoughts of murder and self-destruction. Now, this sleepy Montana town is eating itself alive. The streets run red with blood from grisly acts of violence that Kit predicts with haunting precision—each vision tearing at the bond that’s made him and Jared reluctant brothers in terror.
With each incident, Jared grows weaker and more monstrous as the entity drains his life force. He realizes the creature is hunting Kit—and severing their connection may be the only way to stop the carnage. But as the town tears itself apart and he loses more of his humanity with each passing hour, he faces an impossible choice …
He has no idea how to slam this hell-gate shut—and closing it might destroy the only person who understands his curse.

Sarah Grey thought moving to a quiet coastal town would be the reset she and her son needed. But one drunken séance flips that plan on its head. Suddenly, Sarah is plagued with chilling visions she cannot explain, and neither can Alfie, who sees them too.
The haunting seems tied to the legend of a 19th-century sea witch, long accused of unimaginable evil. But as Sarah digs deeper, she uncovers letters and truths suggesting the story was far more complicated. The more she learns, the more dangerous the haunting becomes.
Now, Sarah must unravel the witch’s true history before the line between the living and the dead disappears altogether.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Sanctuary looks perfect from the outside. Picturesque streets, tight-knit community, and just enough charm to pass as idyllic. But when the town’s golden boy, Daniel Whitman, is found dead at a party, perfection shatters.
Harper Fenn was there when it happened. She is also the daughter of Sanctuary’s only witch, a fact the town cannot ignore. Whispers of curses and revenge spread like wildfire, and suspicion settles firmly on Harper’s family.
As fear twists into paranoia, friends turn on one another, alliances fracture, and old secrets claw their way into the open. Sanctuary is no longer a haven but a hunting ground, and the truth is darker than anyone imagined.
What really happened that night, and who in this town will survive knowing it?
