The Women in the Walls by Amy Lukavics

The Women in the Walls

by Amy Lukavics

The latest compulsive, terrifying novel from Amy Lukavics, author of Daughters Unto Devils. A must for fans of American Horror Story, and the best horror writing you'll ever read.​
Something isn't right in this house. 

Lucy Acosta's mother died when she was three. Growing up in a Victorian mansion in the middle of the woods with her cold, distant father, she and her best friend and cousin, Margaret, know the ancient hallways inside out. Or so they think . . .

When her beloved Aunt Penelope disappears while walking in the surrounding woods, Lucy finds herself devastated and alone. Margaret, meanwhile, has been spending a LOT of time in the attic. She claims she can hear her mother's voice whispering from the walls.

Shut out by her father, Lucy watches helplessly as her cousin's sanity slowly and completely unravels. And then she begins hearing voices herself . . .

Well, I didn't think it could get much worse than Daughters Unto Devils, but apparently it is possibly to become a worse writer as time goes on. I had to put this down at 15% because it was just so pedestrian! The protagonist is an obnoxiously insufferable bore who is completely two dimensional. And despite two big events already occurring within the first three pages it drags and drags until I just realised that life is too short to waste on terrible writing.
