A Southern Gothic tale of inheritance, secrets, and a haunted house in New Orleans.
Hannah Murphy travels from Richmond to New Orleans after receiving news of an inheritance from an unknown uncle. She expects the Lincoln House to offer a new beginning. Instead, she finds a place governed by strict, blood-bound rules. The narrative follows her attempts to understand the estate’s demands and the family history kept hidden for generations.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Stimson crafts a compelling Southern Gothic tale where the Lincoln House itself becomes a character governed by strict, blood-bound rules. The narrative excels in building dread, shifting quickly from fairytale expectations to atmospheric horror as Hannah uncovers her family’s concealed history. The focus on psychological journey and ancestral secrets creates a haunting experience that lingers long after reading. This work suits readers who enjoy gothic mystery and tales of haunted lineage, particularly those comfortable with ambiguity. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or clear resolutions. However, for enthusiasts of slow-burn horror and the weight of inherited duty, this book offers a rich, unsettling exploration of family legacy and the secrets that bind it.
