She's a short and frenetic ride, this one. Dalrymple's story is centered around a Credenza that has been passed down from a grandmother to a granddaughter. While creepy old family heirlooms probably exist in the corners of all our homes, this Credenza has a dark history and an even darker present. Is it evil? Is it conscious? Or, are the women who've housed the credenza plagued by some hereditary mental illness? Read this book, indulge yourself in some pink horror, and find out the Credenza's secrets.

It's a quick read, jam packed full of action.

I loved this book like a dear friend. This is Wendy Dalrymple's best book to date. There are so many twists in this book, it honestly keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire page count. Veronica is a fantastic, multi-layered character that I loved spending time with for a few hours. The whole idea of the haunted credenza is fantastic, and anyone that grew up in the 80s or 90s is going to sympathize with a lot of what Veronica went through as a kid, and if they're like me they are probably in similar situations or at least have been in similar situations, as she finds herself in the book. The final half of the book is absolutely action packed and surprising over and over again, and there is a scene towards the end that had me open mouthed in shock and then gagging in horror right after. Overall, this is a highly recommended horror story that will definitely keep you entertained the entire time.

Credenza by Wendy Dalrymple is a wonderfully creepy read that completely caught me off guard—in the best way.

This story follows Veronica, who inherits a beautiful but mysterious credenza from her late grandmother. Seems innocent enough… until it becomes clear that this isn’t your average piece of furniture. This credenza is haunted—not just with ghosts, but with long-buried family secrets that begin to unravel the moment it enters her home.

The atmosphere in this book is eerie without being over-the-top. It’s got that slow-build tension that keeps you wondering, What is actually going on here?? Wendy Dalrymple did such a great job blending family drama, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural. I love when horror creeps in through something so mundane—and this heirloom? Yeah, it’s got a mind of its own.

It’s spooky, it’s heartfelt, and it’s just the right amount of weird. A great pick if you enjoy haunted house vibes but want something fresh and emotionally grounded.

If you’re into quiet horror, ghostly heirlooms, and family secrets that won’t stay buried, Credenza is for you.
