The House That Remembers You by Kristen A. Peters harkens back to stories featuring haunted houses that are much more than mere plot settings, such as Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House or Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables. These classic books helped create the American Gothic tradition in literature, but The House That Remembers You takes this tradition into the 21st century, a world of cellphones, data-cataloguing, and GPS tracking, where we meet Annette, a small-town library archivist with a forgotten past, one that doesn’t begin until 1994. The consistent and stable life Annette has created for herself is soon complicated by a man named Miller, who is researching the mysterious history of an 18th-century home on Blackwood Lane, and a woman named Melanie, a frequent library patron, who asks far too many questions about both Miller and the old house on Blackwood Lane. We soon learn that Annette may not remember that old house, but the house remembers her!
What a strange and compelling story! Kristen A. Peters writes with an explosive energy created by short sentences that hold menace within them. At times, we don’t know what is real and what is not, only that everything that surrounds Annette in the library seems alive, “where front doors sigh open" and where “a page turns itself.” When we finally meet the house on Blackwood Lane in an interlude from the fall of 1882, we meet its new owners, Silas and Amelia, and their four children. The house they find is alive too – and it knows them. Each family member describes their growing discomfort with their new home, whose hearth is found ominously warm by the youngest, Abigail. How will these two distinctly different storylines intersect? Read The House That Remembers You to find out. Or are you afraid of what you might find?
