Soon To Be Release Horror Novel ‘No Child Of Mine’ Gives Birth To A Ghostly Tale

Author Nichelle Giraldes’ new novel No Child of Mine gives birth to a ghostly tale this September. The novel centers on Essie Singh, who never imagined herself as a mother. Fiercely independent and ambitious, with her only soft spot being her husband Sanjay, a baby was never part of Essie’s plan—but then she finds out she’s pregnant. A problematic pregnancy quickly transforms her body into something foreign and forces her dreams of becoming a successful lawyer out of reach. Unbeknownst to Essie, a tragic love story from centuries earlier has haunted her family for generations, leaving a string of fatherless daughters in its wake. The curse has turned her husband into a stranger who spends his nights pacing the attic while Essie’s own body has become an unknown territory. USA Today bestselling author Darcy Coates calls No Child of Mine “hauntingly powerful, equal parts a ghost story and a tale of what we are prepared to do for love.”  Get
