Summary
“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.

One of the best horror stories I've read. Funny, twisted and scary all at the same time.

This was a hard listen. It was chosen for book club, and not something I would usually chose. I did listen to it all, but I would probably recommend it more as a book than audio, and I wouldn't actually recommend the book if you don't like a slightly odd who dunnit

I enjoyed this read! It had me giggling because of Margret’s dry sense of humour! It was gory in spots but I like that kind of thing. I was two hours from the end of the book and I thought I already knew what the ending would be. It was definitely not what I thought. Throughout the book I wondered why Margaret and Hal just didn’t leave on vacation for the whole month of September…

Couldn’t finish…narrator was so bland and monotonous.

Not at all what I expected, but so so good!

Profile Avatar Larissa S. Oct 2024

Not really scary, but scary themed. And great characters and humor. Enjoyable and entertaining throughout.

Profile Avatar K.R.S Oct 2024

This book has become one of my favorites. I absolutely loved the storyline and writing. It is a very unique way of telling a usually mundane haunted house story. And the narrator did a wonderful job bringing you into the story.

Uhm, this was not for me. It was so slow paced and I did not care about the dad whatsoever soooo the plot of “trying to find him” was lost on me. I read for Margaret

Profile Avatar Julie W. Aug 2024

Great story, did not want it to end

Profile Avatar Frances P. Jun 2024

I loved this book! Lots of twists and turns and I could picture every scary detail! Should be made into a movie!
