À propos de ce contenu audio

‘Doty’s devilishly voracious novel ended up devouring me’
– Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside

'Deliciously unhinged'
- Leigh Radford, author of One Yellow Eye

A family moves into their dream home – only to discover that it hides an insatiable hunger – in this dread-laced and darkly outrageous domestic horror novel.

The new house is a fresh start for Claire and her family. It’s a move towards the quiet suburban life she has craved since her turbulent childhood; a step up the corporate ladder for her husband, Tom; and a safe haven for their two children.

Yet, as they unpack their boxes, she senses something is wrong . . .

Fresh flowers dry up, store-bought eggs are inexplicably hollow and her daughter’s favourite toy disappears. Claire soon confronts a series of impossible truths: the house is hungry. It’s devouring anything that was once alive. And only Claire and Tom, the owners of the house, will remember that this ‘food’ ever existed.

When Claire exploits the house’s power in a moment of weakness, she and the house forge a fragile bond. But as its hunger intensifies and Claire starts to lose control, she fears who else might be drawn to her home – and what sinister appetites they’ll bring.

Grady Hendrix meets The Shining in this darkly fun supernatural horror novel. Perfect for fans of A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher and Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison.
