Some houses remember. Some legacies refuse to fade. And some ghosts never leave.

In Amy Jane Stewart’s Hex House, pregnant Elly flees her wedding night and finds refuge in a mysterious house that offers safety—and something far more dangerous. Years later, Siobhan, whose life unraveled after encountering the house, is drawn back when it resurfaces. As past and present collide, Hex reveals itself as a place of vengeance, transformation, and survival at any cost.

In Charlotte Cross’s The Brides, Dr. John Seward is pulled back into long-buried horrors when a new patient’s story echoes the past. Decades earlier, Mafalda Lowell journeys to Budapest, where illness, visions, and dark forces entwine her fate with Lucy North and her companions. Told through letters and diaries, this reimagining places women at the heart of a chilling Gothic legacy.

In MK Hardy’s Needfire, Norah Mackenzie seeks a fresh start in a marriage of convenience, only to find Corrain House steeped in unease. Her husband is distant, the house is alive with something dark, and ghostly visions begin to blur reality. As secrets surface and tensions rise, Norah must uncover the truth before the house claims her.
