The Haunting of Merchant House
(2026)(The second book in the Dahlia Ravenscroft series)
A novel by Janice Tremayne
A terror forged by a cursed colonial secret. An evil and predator spirit that hasn't moved on. Merchant House remembers.
When seasoned sea captain George Merchant returns to Tasmania with a mysterious specimen hidden in the hull of his trade ship, he believes he’s made the find of a lifetime. Instead, he unleashes a malevolent force that sinks its claws into Merchant’s House—an old estate perched on the windswept coast. The curse spreads like rot, claiming the souls of those who dare dwell within.
Years later, Dahlia—drawn by whispers of her family’s past—steps inside the long-abandoned home, unaware of the evil that still lingers. Alongside her is Paranormal Jack, a ghost hunter with a dark gift and a haunted past of his own.
But something else resides in Merchant House's shadows: Polly, the ghost of a convict woman wronged in life and bound to the house in death. Is she a protector''' or a predator?
As the walls close in and the truth unravels, Dahlia and Jack must confront an ancient curse, buried crimes, and the terrifying legacy of what Captain Merchant brought ashore.
