A horrifying tale of two young girls in their 20s (Laney and Mercedes) that move into an old house, in the hills of California, that was torn down and rebuilt after the biggest murders in American history happened in 1969. When the girls are instantly introduced to the Malevolent ghosts of Charles Manson and Susan Atkins. The horror begins and doesn’t stop until the last page.
The House of Something Witchy puts two girls into one of the most haunting pieces of true crime history. YouTube sensation Mercedes along with her best friend Laney find themselves in a house with a history that most people know…10050 Cielo Dr. The house quickly turned from Mercedes’ dream mansion into a true nightmare. This book is horror and paranormal with a true crime twist and I loved it!
So, I’m halfway through this book and my old, second hand kindle decides to glitch sending me to the ‘about the author’ section. It’s a fascinating read and you realise just how much of the author is in the novel. You’ll also find out that the band ‘Terrific Kid’(author’s musical project) that’s mentioned in the book has an album out and it’s an absolute gem! I played it whilst reading the last couple of chapters and the whole experience was elevated. The emotionally charged music coupled with the horrific ending ( that you know is coming and getting excruciatingly closer by every turn of the page) made for an exhilarating read.
Obviously, with a book centered on Manson, music is peppered throughout the story. You’ll be able to create a great playlist from the songs mentioned. Again, helping to become immersed in the world of the two main Characters, Mercedes and Laney.
