Horror novel This Cursed House by Del Sandeen is set to hit the shelves on October 8.

Set in the 1960s, the plot follows 27-year-old Jemma Barker who abandons her life in Chicago for a job position in New Orleans with the Duchon family in hopes to start over, and escape the spirits she has always been able to see ... only to find out they are depending on her to break a curse they have been under.

“If stories about New Orleans, ghosts, curses, decrepit mansions and weird families are your thing, you’ll be all set for spooky season!” Del shared on social media.

Specialising in speculative fiction, Del’s previous work include young adult books, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: Joined by Fate, Coping with Racial Profiling and Maya Angelou: Writer and Activist.
