A collage of mainly black and green images, featuring skulls, candles, dogs, books, flowers, cottages, forests, and ghosts. There are some graphics on it that show dog paw prints, a teacup, and a moon. The text reads: Houndstooth Hollow: When Artemisia inherits a manor from the mother she never met, she expects newfound wealth and a lovely home in the countryside — not a crumbling gothic manor overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer. In order to pay back her debts and save her new home, she must brave the debutante world to secure a fortune and reluctantly enlist the help of the necromancer, whose dark magic represents everything she’s tried so hard to leave behind. A collage of mostly black and green images, featuring old manor houses, crumbling greenhouses, lots of dogs, and quaint cozy cottages in the sunlight. There are some graphics, such as dog paw prints, a moth, a dog face, and stars. The text reads that this is for fans of gothic cottagecore, afternoon tea & midnight rituals, sentient manor, occult academia magic system, necromancy, forced proximity (haunted house), floriography, haunt the rich, cemetery picnics, and haunting as metaphor. There are also comp titles listed: Belladonna, Half a Soul, The Spellshop, Sorcery of Thorns, The Haunting of Hill House, Crimson Peak, The Addams Family, Tim Burton, India Holton, whimsical macabre, and books where the dogs don’t die.

A collage of images that represent the vibe of the book, including a pastel blue and pink beach, a blue and pink sky behind palm trees, a pink ouija keychain, pain roller skates, pink hair, a pink building behind palm trees, fingers typing on a laptop keyboard, a black and white photo of a woman in 1920s attire, white converse on a longboard, a glowing red theatre sign, and a red and gold theatre stage. Hearts surround a pink text box. The text reads: Sadie expects to be an amateur ghost hunter for a night at a haunted theater, not the sole witness to her favorite paranormal author’s death. Now she’ll have to team up with the author’s living sister to stop a vengeful spirit and help a ghost finish her final manuscript before someone else winds up dead.

A flower-seller inherits a countryside manor — overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer.

To keep her new home, she must restore the house & work with the necromancer to expel the ghosts… before she becomes a haunting, too.
