Over a century ago, the powerful and fiendish Augustus Fitzhampton built the mansion Balmoral. Now rotten and forgotten, the old Victorian lies empty and forbidding. Curiosity seekers foolhardy enough to enter don't stay long. But its next visitors will find its spell eerily irresistible.
Alejandro Alex Olvera and Tempest Wirth are epically in love. In the run-up to the holidays, they're secretly apartment-hunting, defying parental edicts. But an overpriced, tumbledown rent-to-own Victorian mansion beguiles Tempest the moment she touches its antique Victrola. Soon, Alex is bedeviled by endless repairs, money woes... and is their janky love nest haunted? As their finances unravel, they fight to keep the house. Then, Tempest falls under the thrall of a malevolent, if impossibly hunky, force. Alex uncovers the grisly secrets of the home's first owners, a vaunted L.A. founding family. Now, the house wants Alex out, so it can have Tempest to itself. Alex and his geeky friends must rescue Tempest from the ghostly fiend, even if she doesn't love him anymore - but how?
Dispossessed is the scariest, funniest holiday season you'll ever spend between two covers!
This contemporary supernatural comedy expands the fable of that cursed mansion in EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles.
