📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A rental home on Greenpond Road hides a sinister curse that traps its new tenant.

This work examines how a seemingly affordable rental can become a prison for those who enter it. Rose explores the intersection of economic desperation and supernatural danger. The protagonist Amber represents the everyperson caught in a cycle of bad luck. The house itself acts as an antagonist, using its history to torment the resident. The narrative does not offer easy escapes or rational explanations for the haunting. Instead, it focuses on the inevitability of the curse’s power over the individual. The story is grounded in the immediate experience of fear rather than broader societal critique.
