Bad Things Happened In This Room is a chilling psychological horror that descends into madness where the walls whisper and secrets are buried in the garden; perfect for fans of Carissa Orlando and The Yellow Wallpaper, exploring motherhood, grief and the thin line between reality and delusion.

In this haunting psychological horror, Willow’s life has become a fever dream, her days lost in a twisted loop where time no longer flows as it should. Is she held captive by her husband Liam’s iron rules—or by the insidious darkness of her own mind?

Her only connection to the world beyond her walls is a young girl named Sarah, whose unexpected visits to Willow’s garden spark a glimmer of hope. But as cracks form in her carefully controlled existence, horrifying truths seep through, twisting the familiar into something sinister. The floral wallpaper peels back to reveal haunting messages carved into the walls, and the house itself pulses with malevolent life.

When Sarah suddenly vanishes, Willow is forced to confront the dark shadows of her past and the horrors lurking within her fractured psyche. The question remains: is Willow truly a prisoner of her home or of her own mind?

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. And some truths are better left buried in the garden.

Ok, full honesty—I first got the ARC for this one and just couldn’t stay focused. I ended up putting it down unfinished, then immediately felt FOMO when all the glowing reviews started popping up, I wanted to love it too.

Thankfully, I got a second chance winning the audiobook (shoutout to Miss Maire Still 🙌), and holy hell… I get it now. Stephanie’s narration was incredible—it felt like listening to a poetic, gut-wrenching letter from a grieving mother. Beautiful, tragic, and scary af all at once.

The story follows Willow, whose days blur into a fever dream where time doesn’t flow right. Is she trapped by her husband’s control, or by the darkness in her own mind? Her only light is Sarah, a young girl who sneaks into her garden—but when Sarah vanishes, Willow is forced to face horrifying truths that peel back layer by layer, like the walls of her house itself.

Haunting, lyrical, and unsettling in the best way. I’m so glad I gave it another try. 💀✨
