Books like The women in the walls by Amy Lukavics

Lucy Acosta’s life is shaped by tragedy: her mother’s death when she was three and her distant father’s stern presence in a sprawling Victorian estate. Growing up with her cousin Margaret, they explore the house’s hidden corridors together, forming an unbreakable bond. Their world turns upside down when aunt Penelope vanishes into the surrounding woods, leaving Lucy isolated and heartbroken. Margaret retreats into the attic, claiming she hears her dead mother’s whispers from the walls—an unsettling phenomenon that unsettles the already fragile family. As Lucy herself begins to hear disembodied voices, she is forced to confront an ancient and lethal legacy that has plagued the women in her family for generations, threatening to unravel her sanity. In this tense horror tale, the themes of maternal loss, secrecy, and supernatural terror intertwine to create a chilling experience for readers.
