📖Book/Audiobook Review🎧 The September House Carissa Orlando Narrator: Kimberly Farr Genre: Horror Pub Date: 9/5/23 Special thanks to @berkleypub and @prhaudio for the gifted hardcover and ALC in exchange for an honest review. #Penguinrandomhousepartner Haunted House + Domestic Drama + Darkly Funny = Blended Genre Horror Book that will appeal to readers beyond the typical horror lovers. What I liked: 🩸Victorian Haunted House: While the pranksters (our ghosts) appear all year long, come September, the haunting activity kicks up a new notch - walls bleed, killer birds appear in the yard, and ghosts scream and play mind games. My favorite ghost is Fredricka, who becomes indispensable to Margaret. 🩸Margaret: She understands rules must be followed to survive her abusive husband and to live in the house she loves. To Margaret, “Everything is survivable.” She shows women tend to endure abuse while protecting their children. I love the parallels the book portrays as Margaret finds her inner strength to survive all the horrors in her life. 🩸Darkly Funny: From the ghosts’ shenanigans to Margaret’s internal monologue to the banter between Margaret and her daughter (Katherine), the laugh-out-loud moments are plentiful. Quite a surprise for a horror book! 🩸Narration: I HIGHLY recommend this format. Kimberly Farr voices Margaret exceptionally well. Farr infuses sarcasm, dry humor, and a bit of eeriness in this haunted house tale. The September House is perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix or anyone who wants to dabble in horror this spooky season. Q: Would you live in a haunted house? Try to make “friends” with your ghosts? #TheSeptemberHouse #CarissaOrlando #horrorbooks #horrorbookstagram #domesticdrama #psychologicalabuse #ghosts #hauntedhouse #berkleypartner #debutauthor #debutbook #bookmarkedbybecky #windycitybookstagrammers #bookstagram #audiobookstagram #audiobookreview #prhainfluencer #bookreview #berkleybookstagram
