"Malice House" follows the thrilling tale of Emily, a young 20yo who inherits a magnificent Victorian mansion from a long-lost relative. The house, full of dark rumors and haunting legends, becomes both her fascination and fear. As Emily settles in, strange occurrences and unsettling visions and illusions begin to haunt her. Determined to unravel the secrets within Malice House, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and uncovers a history of tragedy, betrayal, and hidden family secrets. As Emily delves deeper into the mysteries of the mansion, she must confront her fears and uncover the truth before it consumes her sanity and possibly her life.
"Malice House" is a haunting and suspenseful novel that skillfully weaves a chilling tapestry of psychological suspense and Gothic intrigue. Malice House by Megan Shepherd has a totally dark academic vibe to it. The Victorian mansions, the strange allure of her relatives, and not to mention the whole town itself. I loved the overall plot and structure of it and its haunting language and dictation. Although the plot was fast-paced, there were times in the novel that I was struggling to keep reading and it starts off slowly. Emily is white.
