The September House by Carissa Orlando

February 3, 2024 by genericwhitegirl 1 Comment

Have you seen the show Ghosts? It’s a campy sitcom about a woman who sees ghosts in her house and has learned to live with them. This is kinda like that, but a lot more macabre, and a lot more funny! If it isn’t bad enough to live in a haunted house, try living in this haunted house in September!

When her family moves to Hadleigh House and promise this is the last move, Willow is overjoyed and will do anything to stay. Even match wits with four ghosts (two spicy sisters (one has a thing about […]
