A couple's dream home in Sicily turns into a nightmare as they uncover dark secrets in The House of Last Resort, revealing a history of dread.
In The House of Last Resort, readers are drawn into a chilling narrative set against the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful hills of Sicily. The story begins in the nearly desolate town of Becchina, where the mayor's unconventional plan to sell abandoned homes for just one Euro attracts the attention of an American couple, Tommy and Kate Puglisi. What appears to be an adventurous opportunity quickly transforms into an unsettling experience as they discover the dark history tied to their new residence. The couple, eager to reconnect with Tommy's Italian roots, finds themselves grappling with more than just the challenges of a fixer-upper.
As they settle into their new home, the couple encounters strange occurrences that hint at a sinister past. Tommy's grandmother's fearful reaction to their house raises red flags, while mysterious noises and inexplicable events plague their daily lives. The couple's excitement begins to wane as they feel the weight of the town's secrets pressing down on them. Whispers at family gatherings suggest that their house, referred to as The House of Last Resort, harbors a history that is anything but welcoming.
The tension escalates as they uncover the house's connection to the Church and the unsettling activities that took place within its walls. The chilling truth about the chapel and the catacombs below reveals a legacy of death and despair. In The House of Last Resort, the couple must confront not only the haunting remnants of the past but also the dark forces that still linger in the shadows of their new home.
