Accumulation by Aimee Pokwatka is kind of a haunted house domestic horror. Tenn, a documentary filmmaker turned wedding videographer because life be like that sometimes, and her husband Ward, move with their two kids from North Carolina to New York. In a tale as old  as time, or at least as old as The Amityville Horror, the move was meant to strengthen their marriage (though the pre-move details are unclear), and Ward sinks all their money into buying Tenn’s dream home.  They both have new jobs, but Ward’s is the one that will support them with his new six figure salary.

The Curse of Hester Gardens by Tamika Thompson is not your typical haunted house story. Hester Gardens is an entire neighborhood/housing project that is haunted not only by poverty, drugs, and gun violence, but also by at least one spirit.

If you ever wanted to experience a real haunted house without having to experience the real haunted house, reading Temple Fall by R. L. Boyle is possibly the closest you can get.

Play Nice by Rachel Harrison is a thrilling horror novel with scares coming from both the literal and figurative demons.

Every neighborhood has a haunted house, and in thirteen-year-old Jessie’s neighborhood, that’s the McIntyre place, and like any teenager, she just wants her eight-year-old brother Paul to go away so she can listen to her music, so she dares him to go into the McIntyre place just to get him out of her hair for a few hours. She had no way of knowing she would never see him again or that it would destroy her family.
