“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.
