Crossroads and Curses

Some houses are built on land. Others are built on blood. When Odella Broussard returns to her family's ancestral home in rural Louisiana, she believes she's only come to settle old affairs and care for her aging mother, Evelyn. But Belle Rêve is no ordinary house-and the past does not stay buried here. Generations ago, a bargain was struck at a crossroads where the living and the dead still whisper.
That pact saved the family once. Now it demands payment. As strange visions, ancestral memories, and long-silenced truths begin to surface, Odella and Evelyn are forced to confront a legacy of ritual, sacrifice, and inherited guilt. The house remembers every choice ever made within its walls-and it is watching closely as the next one approaches. Rooted in Southern Gothic tradition and steeped in folklore, Crossroads and Curses is a haunting exploration of generational trauma, forbidden bargains, and the cost of survival when fate comes calling again.
