Lost and unmoored after her mother’s death, Carmen drifts from place to place. Moving from one Airbnb to the next, she is a ghost in the towns she passes through—an outsider, never quite belonging.

With her inheritance dwindling away, and determined to stop drifting, Carmen decides it’s time to settle. Time to buy a little house, close the door, and try to rebuild her life.

When she finds a surprisingly cheap property on a nice street, Carmen thinks she’s struck gold, until the estate agent hesitates. The house has a history, she warns. Something unspeakable happened there. A murder so brutal she can barely bring herself to describe it.

But Carmen isn’t easily spooked. The house wasn’t to blame. And a bargain is a bargain. Ghosts aren’t real. Hauntings are just superstition.

Yet, as Carmen turns her key in the lock, a thought haunts her:
What if she’s wrong?
What if walls really do remember?

Something Bad Happened Here is a chilling haunted house story which deals with themes of ghosts and possession. It will appeal to fans of Come Closer by Sara Gran and A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay.
