Description
In this eerie supernatural horror novel, two cousins must decide the fate of their childhood home―but the building has other plans.
When Rosella Li and her estranged cousin, Gabe, inherit the last crumbling Victorian in a downtown San Jose block, developers hope to finish their gentrification push. Rosella is happy to see it go―her father, Ming, always cared more for the building and its tenants than her―but Gabe wants to cling on, mourning both his childhood home and the man who quietly raised him.
Despite their squabbling, the choice may not be theirs; 43 Santo Domingo Street won’t be relinquished so easily. Indeed, when the cousins arrive to sign it away, they unearth boxes buried in its walls, revealing the desperate history Ming hid for decades, including what really happened to Rosella’s mother. Then, as bulldozers circle, a malevolence makes itself known.
Soon, the lies that spanned family and cultures finally surface and, with them, spirits hellbent on one thing: No one leaves Santo Domingo Street.
New York Times–bestselling author Mike Chen’s The Haunting of Santo Domingo Street is a chilling exploration of the consequences of erasing the past that will have readers grappling with the cost of not only progress . . . but also forgetting.
Advance Praise
“Poignant and timely yet terrifying, The Haunting of Santo Domingo Street is that rare haunted house story that reaches beyond brick and mortar, beyond heart and soul, to explore the echoes of trauma baked into the immigrant experience and the ways adults continue to be trapped by the pain of childhood.” ―Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Violence and Bloom
“Delivers all the uncanniness of a classic haunted house story while layering family tension, generational trauma, and emotional insight. Mike Chen shines as he unpacks fraught relationships and unspools a ghostly mystery.” ―Rowenna Miller, author of The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill
