MARCUS STARR'S LATEST NOVEL
HOUSE OF THE HUNGRY GHOSTS
Unraveling a Haunted Family's Journey
Step into the world of Hungry Ghosts, where a fractured family faces both supernatural and person turmoil.
Sara Clark, proprietor of Basement Books, is trying to piece her life together. What she doesn't need is an abusive, alcoholic husband. Nor does she need a house riddled with ghosts. She wants her old life back. The life where her son was still alive and her family loved her dearly. But what about a new fling? Will that solve her problems, or make things worse?
After the tragic end to his young son's life, Sam is desperate to get his life back on track. This proves difficult. Despite this, he's having a spiritual awakening. Will his efforts bear fruit, or will he succumb to alcohol and violence like his own father had?
Arya is at her wit's end. Her parents are being impossible, the bully at school is tormenting her, and she's learned a dark secret: her house is haunted. With the weight of the world resting on her shoulders, she faces a daunting task: not only must she save her family, she must also save the world.
House of the Hungry Ghosts is a gripping, haunted thriller. Narrated from three characters' perspectives - the mother, the father, and the nine-year-old daughter - Marcus Starr entwines the reader with clever, fast-paced storytelling and highly relatable characters. A must read.
