Some houses breathe...
Elle is thrilled to spend a month minding the beautiful Gillespie property. More than an hour's drive from the nearest town and surrounded by forests, the aging mansion is ideal for someone seeking solitude.
But things start to go very wrong, very quickly.
Elle discovers a crumbling graveyard nestled in the woods. It contains a generation of the house's residents, all with an identical year of death.
Scratching in the walls... slamming doors... whispers in the night... a locked room...
As Elle explores deeper into the house, she begins to unravel the property's dark and dangerous history. At its centre is Jonathan Gillespie, a tyrannical cult leader and the house's original owner.
And as Elle soon learns - just because he's dead, doesn't mean he's gone.
Includes a bonus short story, Crawlspace, which inspired Gillespie House.

Crystal's Review
The Haunting of Gillespie House by Darcy CoatesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Quick read but very haunting. I really love Darcy's writing style. This is the 3rd book of hers I have read and they are not disappointing. I kind of thought there was only so many ways to write about haunted houses but Darcy does a great job keeping them separated. The stories are all different and catch your interest right off the bat.
Crawlspace: Bonus Short Story at the end.
Wow what a read, for being so short it was good!
