ARC Review: The September House

 I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself. 

The September House by Carissa Orlando

It was Margaret and Hal’s dream house, until that first September. Every September, blood pours down the walls, ghosts appear, and screaming starts up every night. Margaret can take it. Hal cannot.

Hal hasn’t been seen since the night he left, and their daughter Katherine (who doesn’t know about what’s happened) is worried enough about him to fly in. With a new September starting, Margaret can only hope for the best.

This book is absolutely made by the fabulously matter of fact narration of Margaret. The things that are happening are so scary, but Margaret just treats them as part of life. And things do get absolutely terrifying. Orlando has a real talent for eliciting feelings of horror in readers, and is a great writer. I would definitely recommend this book.
