The Chambermaids

Author(s): Leigh M Hall

Location(s): The American South

Genre(s): Gothic, Horror

Era(s): Post Civil War

After losing their fortune to the Civil War, hot-headed Wilbur Saxton resents having to move South to his wife’s newly-inherited house, but his young wife Elouise is glad to finally return to her home state. But when they arrive at the crumbling estate, they discover a dark family secret among the rot.

When two mysterious young women arrive, offering their services as chambermaids and claiming they know the land better than anyone, the couple accept–unaware they’ve opened their lives to something far more dangerous. As the women’s influence deepens, Wilbur falls under their spell, and Elouise begins to lose her grip on reality.

What should have been a fresh start curdles into a nightmare. To save herself–and her husband–Elouise must confront the truth buried within her family’s legacy. But is she truly fighting for freedom, or merely playing out the fate that was written for her long ago?
