The Haunting of Ashburn House
The Haunting of Ashburn House
by Darcy Coates
There's something wrong with Ashburn House...
When Adrienne inherits her great-aunt's sprawling, gothic home, it seems like an incredible stroke of luck. She arrives on the doorstep with only a suitcase of luggage, twenty dollars, and her pet cat. Ashburn House is a lifeline she can't afford to refuse.
Adrienne doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's hard to ignore the unease that grows as she explores her new home. Strange messages have been etched into the wallpaper. An old grave is hidden in the forest behind the house. And eerie portraits in the upstairs hall seem to watch her every movement.
As she uncovers more of the house's secrets, Adrienne begins to believe the whispered rumours about Ashburn and its deceased owner may hold more truth than she ever suspected. The building has a bleak and grisly past, and as she chases the threads of a decades-old mystery, Adrienne realises she's become the prey to something deeply unnatural and intensely resentful.
