Inspired by the True Story of the Haunted Ropes Mansion

Respect history or be doomed to repeat it.

Inspired by true historical events and figures, Salem’s Ropes is the story of America’s oldest and darkest secrets.

After a business trip to Boston, George Lawson announces to his family that he has purchased the Ropes Mansion in Salem Massachusetts; a historic mansion that is 300 years old. His wife and daughter are skeptical but acquiesce.

Over 40 of the mansion’s owners have died unnaturally, were murdered, or committed suicide since 1720. Salem’s residents warn George about living in the Ropes, but he is convinced he can uncover the mystery.

The family is torn apart after George becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the dark history of Salem and their new home. He discovers mysterious objects and Masonic symbols carved onto the walls of their basement.

After a smoke alarm goes off in the middle of the night, firefighters discover smoldering embers behind a basement wall – along with strange human remains. Police are called and suspect that there is more to the story than George will admit. Like countless others in the Ropes house before, George and his family fight a descent into madness.

Written by a 3rd grader

Even to say written by a 3rd grader is an insult to the intellect of 3rd graders. This has to be the most undeveloped and unsophisticated writing I have ever encountered. I didn’t hold out high hopes for this book but pushed myself to go to Ch 13 before I wanted to scream. Dialogue interspersed with “she said” “he said” next to every line, like grade school creative writing. To say that the characters were flat is to give them more life than a bowlful of yogurt. I began to wonder if this was self published. Don’t waste your $$ or your time with this…Life is too short!
