Strange shadows in the corner of a room. Pale figures that vanish when she looks twice. Whispers from the dead that have become little more than background noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the First House is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInherited from her grandmother after a messy divorce, a devastating loss, and the collapse of the life she thought she wanted, the isolated house on Tasmania's coast seems like the perfect place for Murphy to start over. Better yet, with its notorious history and reputation for being haunted, it could become the ultimate tourist attraction for her new social media presence. Murphy isn't afraid of ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she restores the decaying house, Murphy discovers its spirits aren't merely lingering. They're \u003cem\u003ewaiting\u003c\/em\u003e. Teeth click beneath her bed. Rooms conceal impossible spaces. And something ancient moves through the darkness—a presence that has been tied to the house for far longer than anyone remembers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe First House has been keeping its secrets for generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow Murphy has come home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd something inside has been waiting for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWebsite Exclusive Hardcover:\u003c\/strong\u003e this edition comes as a case laminate hardcover with a beautiful dust jacket and ribbon bookmark.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JJ Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":59713493795102,"sku":"978-1-960322-60-9","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59713493827870,"sku":"9781960322616","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover - Website Exclusive","offer_id":59713493860638,"sku":"9781960322623","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7599\/5678\/files\/ebook-1600x2400_3.jpg?v=1788566571","url":"https:\/\/deadfoxpub.com\/products\/the-first-house","provider":"Dead Fox Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
