Formerly a soft-core sex worker at avant-garde establishment Spiritual Palms, our unnamed narrator transitions to the front of the shop as a psychic, pretending to read auras. When she meets Susan Burke, a desperate suburbanite struggling to cope with her unnerving old house, Carterhook Manor, and its effects on her sinister stepson, Miles, our narrator sets herself up as an entrepreneur, with her own aura-cleansing business for spooky houses. But as bloodstains mysteriously appear on the walls, Miles threatens her and demands that she leave, and she discovers that the entire Carterhook family was brutally murdered there a hundred years ago by the eldest son, who, in photographs, looks uncannily like Miles. When she realizes that neither Miles nor Susan has been telling the whole truth, it might already be too late to get out. Show more
