The Girl Upstairs

The Girl Upstairs by Jessica R. Patch tells the chilling story of Gwen McDaniel, a former homicide detective who moves to a cliff-side fixer-upper in Maine to save her failing marriage. She hopes the fresh air and renovation project will help her and her husband, Steven, start over.

However, the house has other plans. From the moment they arrive, Gwen is plagued by strange noises and shadows. While Steven dismisses her concerns as paranoia, Gwen’s professional instincts tell her something is deeply wrong. Her fears are confirmed when she pulls up the attic carpet and finds a terrifying message carved into the floorboards.

As she digs into the town's history, Gwen uncovers a decades-old nightmare involving a missing girl and a house of horrors. What started as an attempt to fix her life turns into a desperate struggle to survive as the house’s dark secrets begin to surface.
