The Haunting of Santo Domingo Street - by Mike Chen Paperback

Book Synopsis

Cousins Rosella and Gabe have always had a complicated relationship with Ming, Rosella's estranged father and Gabe's beloved uncle. When the news hits that Ming has passed away and left behind the run-down apartment building in San Jose the two of them grew up in, they're left with a complicated choice: In a briskly gentrifying neighborhood, do they sell the land? Demolish the building? Or attempt to repair a place that means very different things to them both?

But as they explore the aging building, something is visiting them--and not just memories of their youth. Trauma lives in these walls, manifested in echoes of the people who lived here before, making for a haunting unlike anything they've seen in movies. And when the building is marked for demolition, the cousins realize they have one last chance to get inside and free these tortured souls. Perhaps if they can figure out what happened in the past, they can help heal people in the present.

New York Times-bestselling author Mike Chen explores new depths of horror, along with themes of generational trauma and the Asian American experience, in a novel that's perfect for fans of Gabino Iglesias and Alyssa Cole.
