Model Home

In this unique take on the haunted-house story, Ezri and their two sisters must return to their childhood home in an exclusive gated community outside of Dallas after their parents’ deaths. When they moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. While at first everything seemed fine, the home was quickly filled with terror as the three children experienced unexplainable horrors, which the family believed were caused by the house itself. While Ezri, Eve, and Emmanuelle all escaped, their parents remained in the house. Now, the true nature of the strange and terrible things that happened in the house, as well as the truth about the past, must be confronted. In this reimagining of a long-standing trope, Solomon (Sorrowland) explores trauma, abuse, mental illness, gender, and family bonds within a thought-provoking psychological horror novel.
