The Sisters of Crimson House follows Charley Bryde, the only member of a long line of celebrated psychics who was never given the family gift. Charley spends her days inside Crimson House, the Brydes’ storied mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, living in the shadow of her talented older sister, Miranda. When a tragedy scatters the family and the money runs dry, Charley turns the manor into a haunted attraction, propping up the family name with cons, lies, and expertly read tarot cards. A skeptic determined to expose her as a fraud cracks open something the Brydes wanted to stay buried, and when Miranda shows up unannounced after eight years away, the sisters discover that Crimson House, and their own family, hold secrets even the greatest psychics couldn’t foresee.
The Sisters of Crimson House is the debut novel from Melissa Anderson Sweazy, an award-winning director and filmmaker based in Memphis. She also created You Can See Me in the Dark, a true ghost story podcast heard on every continent except Antarctica.
“Dripping with Southern Gothic horror, magic, and searing wit, The Sisters of Crimson House grabbed my hand and would not let go!” said Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child.
The Sisters of Crimson House arrives in trade paperback on September 29, 2026, from Sourcebooks Landmark, wherever books are sold.
