The Place Where They Buried Your Heart

by Christina Henry · 2025

A woman must confront the evil that has haunted her Chicago street since childhood. When older sister Jessie dares her little brother Paul to enter the derelict house at the end of the block, he vanishes, and the house seems to devour any child who enters. The disappearance shatters Jessie's family and fuels a lifelong obsession. As she grows into adulthood, the house grows stronger, feeding on the neighborhood’s changing, gentrifying landscape. Jessie's watchful presence becomes a desperate attempt to stop the darkness that threatens to consume more lives, blending haunted‑house terror with a raw, emotional tale of trauma, family bonds, and the fight to preserve a community.
