Adrienne is very young but she’s already a ghost writer. And things start going down – at sundown (sorry).Īs with many horror stories, you need to have a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief and a high tolerance for clichés in order to enjoy this book. So it’s a perfect, secluded setting for what’s about to go down. The house is outside the little town of Ipson, separated from it by a forest. Broke, without any living relatives and as good as homeless, Adrienne chooses to move into this house with her cat Wolfgang because then at least she’ll have a roof over her head.
The Haunting of Ashburn House is the pretty scary story of Adrienne, a 20-something woman who inherits an old house from her great aunt, Edith. But it was fun and sometimes that’s all you need. I don’t think Coates meant it to be that either. Only one thing is certain: Ashburn's dead are not at rest.Look, this isn’t a masterpiece. Chasing the threads of a decades-old mystery, it isn't long before she realizes she's become prey to something deeply unnatural and intensely resentful. Eventually Adrienne can't ignore that a twisted thing lives in the house, its hungry eyes ever-watchful. Worse, a grave hidden in the depths of the forest hints at a terrible, unforgivable secret. There's something here-something powerful, angry, and hell-bent on shaking things up. Furniture moves when she leaves the room. Strange messages are etched into the walls. But when Adrienne-desperate and in need of a place to stay-inherits the crumbling old mansion, she only sees it as a lifeline. They say it's the dwelling place of something cruel and sinister. They whisper its old owner went mad, and restless ghosts still walk the halls. There's something wrong with Ashburn House.Įveryone knows about Ashburn House.
From USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror Darcy Coates comes a haunting story of intrigue, misery, and fear.
