A Story by

 
 
Some houses are haunted. This one is well-run.

When etiquette columnist Alistair Morris inherits his late aunt’s perfectly kept townhouse, he expects paperwork, dust, and perhaps a few awkward family memories.


Instead, he finds a house with a strict household manual, impeccable standards, and a disturbing habit of correcting his behavior—one polite note at a time.

At 17 Bellwether Square, coats must be properly hung, correspondence must be handled with care, and some rooms come with rules no sensible person should test. As the house’s demands grow more personal, Alistair must decide whether to follow the rules… or find a way to rewrite them.

A Manual for Polite Hauntings is a witty, cozy horror novella about manners, inheritance, and the danger of being too accommodating.

(There's no gore, no cursing, and only easy angst. Creepy that won't keep you up at night.)
