Synopsis

Ghost Mother is a mesmerizing psychological ghost story that blurs the thin line between reality and delusion. Lilly Bly desperately wants to have a baby. She is struggling with infertility and bad spending habits when her husband, Jack, gets a new job that moves them from Chicago to a small town in Wisconsin. Impractical Lilly falls in love with a decrepit mansion well out of their price range—she is convinced that she will finally get pregnant and have a baby in this house—and Jack reluctantly agrees to buy the wreck. But when Lilly learns that her dream house was the site of a gruesome triple homicide/suicide in the 1950s, she begins to experience strange occurrences that soon lead her to believe the house is haunted. Are her ghostly encounters real, or is this a cascading mental breakdown? As Lilly learns more about the deaths and her visions become increasingly vivid, her relationship with Jack deteriorates, leading to a dramatic and irreversible climax. Perfect for fans of classic, gothic horror fiction, like Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw and Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, as well as contemporary suspense and horror fiction by everyone from Stephen King to Ruth Ware.

Goodreads review by Mikala on October 12, 2024

It's been a few weeks and I can't stop thinking about the characters ... especially the fact that no one is redeemable, yet it works out, but in a way that's heartbreaking. The characters are desperately unlikeable, but the last 40% of the book conjured so many emotions in me... Reading notes along t......more

4.5 stars rounded up - thank you the the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review! This book reminded me of almost every haunted house book I have come across and that’s not necessarily a bad thing and in this particular case I ate it up. There were times I felt it got a little repetitiv......more
