The Exorcist's House: Genesis
A dual-timeline horror novel linking 1967 occult investigations to 1997 family secrets.
Roberts uses alternating perspectives to show how past sins affect future generations. Merle Blatty’s search for truth in West Virginia creates ripples that reach the Hill family decades later. The connection between the two eras is not immediately obvious but becomes clear as the sinister web tightens around the characters. This approach allows the author to build tension slowly, revealing the depth of the supernatural threat through personal loss and familial bonds rather than sudden jumpscares.
The novel is published by Crystal Lake Publishing under their Tales from the Darkest Depths imprint. It engages with American horror traditions by referencing exorcism and haunted properties, positioning itself within the lineage of supernatural fiction that explores the intersection of personal tragedy and demonic influence.
