The Witchlings dive into The September House by Carissa Orlando — a chilling haunted house story that’s as much about ghosts as it is about abuse, survival, and the weight of silence. From blood-stained walls and eerie children’s spirits to the complicated dynamics of Margaret’s marriage and motherhood, this review unpacks the horror, the humor, and the heartbreak woven into the novel.
⚠️ Spoiler + Trigger Warning: We discuss graphic violence, domestic abuse, and major plot details.
Join Kay, Shay, and Lou as they explore:
✨ Why Margaret feels like an unreliable narrator (and when we started to believe her)
✨ How haunted houses mirror cycles of abuse and survival
✨ The gothic parallels between ghosts, trauma, and generational wounds
✨ The unforgettable ending battle against Master Vale
If you’re into haunted houses, layered horror, and stories that stick with you long after the last page, this one’s for you.
