Book Synopsis

A young woman abandons her life in 1960s Chicago for a position with a mysterious family in New Orleans, only to discover the dark truth: they're under a curse

'A sinister and beautifully rendered Southern Gothic, This Cursed House explores the real-life horrors of racism and trauma. Del Sandeen's stunning debut haunted me' Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching

----

Louisiana, 1962.


The Duchon family has always been a little different.

Light-skinned enough to pass as white, they've always felt superior to their black peers, ensconced in their palatial but decrepit New Orleans mansion.

Meanwhile in Chicago, Jemma Barker is desperate to escape another winter in the freezing cold - and the spirits she has always been able to see.

When Jemma receives an unexpected job offer from the Duchon family, she can't say yes soon enough.

But it's not long before Jemma
