Description
There’s something off about the house…as if it’s hiding a dark secret. That’s why artist, Emily Lawrence thinks it’s the perfect subject for a cover commissioned by a famous horror author. But that’s her little secret. Her husband, Miles, can only assume the house she is constantly sketching is her dream home. So, when Emily is sidelined by an unexpected, high-risk pregnancy, he buys it thinking it’ll be perfect for their growing family.
Immediately, Emily begins to hear voices and senses a child’s presence. Is the house haunted or is it stress getting to Emily? Her husband certainly thinks it’s all in her head. A traumatic delivery leaves Emily convinced something is terribly wrong. Miles must navigate his wife’s delicate state, and care for their newborn son, while returning to work. It’s a tenuous situation—then the baby disappears.

"A harrowing journey into the dark spaces within, trimmed by rotting lace and the specter of misogyny." —KP Kulski author of Fairest Flesh and House of Pungsu
“…insidious and harrowing, full of twists and terror. It’s a brilliant piece of Gothic horror.” —Scott A. Johnson, author of Through the Witches Stone
“A brilliant premise, masterfully plotted, Knight weaves a story that reads like a fever dream born of anxiety.” —Bram Stoker Award-winning author Sarah Read
"…captures the modern anxiety of homeownership, coupled with the tense unease of new motherhood. Highly recommended..." —Alex Hofelich, PseudoPod
