SAUGERTIES, N.Y. - s4story -- "Waverly Estate: The Murmur," M.T. Maliha's second installment in her gothic "Waverly Estate" trilogy hitting shelves October 23, tells of the awakening of the ghosts haunting the estate at the unexpected return of Waverly relations.

Centuries after the death of Martin Waverly the vacuous halls and abandoned rooms have become devoid of purpose and love. A terrible blight has further marred the name of Waverly to its very pith. Caleb Jensen, a newly discovered relation, embarks on the daunting task of restoring the mansion to its once glorious state. Awakened by his sudden appearance he must fight malevolent spirits while struggling to stifle personal demons that whisper lies about heaven, and hell and death, if he is to survive the fetid core of Waverly Estate.

Characterized by suspense, spiritualism, well-researched historical details, and a setting based on the ruins of a forgotten mansion that stands along The Hudson River in NY State, "Waverly Estate: The Murmur" will entrance readers of paranormal fiction, and historical fiction alike. Maliha continues the haunting story of Waverly Estate's ghostly history, where the dead are only as dead as they wish to be, and breathes life into the past as she dives further into what comes after death and what living truly means.
