A Best Horror Book of the Year (Esquire)! - A Bram Stoker Award Nominee! - A 2024 Legacy Awards Nominee! - A Finalist for the Reading the West Book Awards!


A terrifying Gothic thriller about grief and death and the depths of a father's love, Johnny Compton's The Spite House is a stunning debut by a horror master in the making--The Babadook meets A Head Full of Ghosts in Texas Hill Country.

Eric Ross is on the run from a mysterious past with his two daughters in tow. When he comes across an ad for a caretaker for the Masson House, Eric hopes they have finally caught a lucky break. The owner of the "most haunted place in Texas" is looking for proof of paranormal activity. All they need to do is stay in the house and keep a detailed record of everything that happens there--provided the house's horrors don't drive them all mad, like the caretakers before them.

The job calls to Eric, not just because of the huge payout, but because he needs access to the secrets of the spite house. If it is indeed haunted, maybe it will help him understand the uncanny power that clings to his family, driving them from town to town, too afraid to stop running...

Not Really a Daddy's Girl Any More..but can sure know how to use it..
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I have at least five of this series that have been in the TBR pile on the bedroom bookshelf..What was I thinking? I absolutely loved this first one for many reasons.One being the rich content that makes up this book, as well as the main protagonist, an Ole Miss Southern Belle, Sarah Booth Delaney, a bit of an outlier when it comes to her former stereotype in the Daddy's Girls(DG's) clique...which is what endears me to her most...never, ever typecast someone as starting out as cut from the same cloth when circumstances aide in their character development..a definite asset in this case. Independent and also in need of money to save the Family home, Dahlia House.and in no hurry to give up her independence for marriage but will consider some stops along the way..when all her former buds have married for economic security rather than love. The dot of on the 'i' is a several generations removed ghost in the form of Jitty..her great, great, grandmother's maid who provides insights and caustic humor throughout. Thrown into these dire circumstances, she latches on to the opportunity to become a Private Investigator. Add a transgender character who happens to work for a local paper in the gossip area, and Sarah Booth is off to the races. Sprinkle in an alleged, physic who is a mainstay of her life long and still successful "DG's, Tinkie, " a murder mystery, a sibling in a psych ward(comfortable of course) a sheriff, and you have all the ingredients of a good ol moss draped mystery. You gotta love it..I know I did.

Mystery that keeps you guessing
Format: Kindle
This book kept me up reading too many nights because I just couldn't stop reading!! The majority of my reading list consists of murder mysteries. I love trying to figure "who done it?" right along with the main character. My track record for "solving" the case is pretty good but this one had me stumped. I loved that! The author does a great job of giving detail without being overwhelming. The story is of a ex-socialite (Sarah-Booth) who is willing to do anything to save her beloved home. (Think Scarlet O'Hara) In the process of trying to come up with funds, she uncovers a two-decade mystery. She will risk everything, not only to save her home but solve the mystery.

Amazing 'quick' tan
My all time favorite tanning lotion. Won't use anything else. Yes your hands turn brown as you put it on due to the coffee extract but so do you after laying in the sun for less than an hour!!! Ready for tan lines & summer sunshine!
