Description

A young Black woman abandons her life in 1960s Chicago for a position with a mysterious family in New Orleans, only to discover the dark truth—they're under a curse.

In the fall of 1962, Jemma Barker is desperate to escape her life in Chicago—and the spirits she has always been able to see. When she receives an unexpected job offer from the Duchon family in New Orleans...

But Jemma discovers that this family isn't what they seem. Their tenuous hold on reality extends to all the members of their eccentric clan. And soon, the shocking truth comes out—the Duchons are under a curse. And they think Jemma can break it.

As Jemma wrestles with the gift she's run from all her life, she unravels deeper and more disturbing secrets about the mysterious Duchons.

This Cursed House by Del Sandeen is a captivating tale of mystery and the supernatural, weaving together timeless themes of escape and discovery.
