She Lives in a House That Bleeds—And She Refuses to Leave
The September House is the horror debut you won’t stop thinking about.

Blood runs down the walls every September.
Ghosts roam the halls.
Her husband disappeared.
She doesn’t care.
Margaret isn’t leaving.
That’s what makes The September House by Carissa Orlando so damn chilling—she stays.
🏚️ Welcome to the House You Can’t Escape
The house is haunted. Aggressively.
Every September, things get worse:
• Bleeding walls
• Apparitions
• Objects moving
• Ghosts with names
• And something… darker
Her husband bails.
Margaret? She grabs a paintbrush and keeps going.
👁️ Not Just Horror—It’s Trauma Manifesting
This isn’t just about spooks. It’s about survival through silence. Margaret’s endured worse than ghosts. Abuse, fear, erasure.
And now? She’s taking her life back—one bloody wall at a time.
💀 Final Verdict: 4.25/5 Skulls
