📝 Description: A Haunting: The Horror on Rue Street

L I Albemont, known for Contagion: A Novel of The Living Dead, presents a dark horror novel centered on Sarah Faust. She seeks refuge in a neglected three-hundred year old townhouse in Charleston. This port city location offers her a chance to start over after fleeing a troubled past. The property at 5 Rue Lane appears to be the perfect sanctuary for her new beginning. The narrative quickly shifts as Sarah discovers that the house harbors something ancient. A presence has resided there for a very long time and refuses to stay buried.

Readers familiar with the fear induced by The Exorcist will find similar tension here. The plot relies on twists and turns that create a spine tingling atmosphere.

Albemont delivers a focused tale of domestic horror rooted in the specific setting of an old Charleston home.
