"The house was abandoned, but it was not empty. Something still lived there. Hungry. Remorseless. Trying to find a way out. Or at least that was what Ellen Shafer, his best friend, had tried to tell him. He hadn't listened to her. And she had paid the price."
Justin Devereaux is obsessed with an ancient LaMascares Mansion on top of the Hill in Winter Haven. When his best friend tells him of tunnels leading from the abandoned mansion to each of the houses in town, it starts Justin on an unstoppable path towards his dark destiny.
X. Aratare's first stand-alone novella contains explicit m/m sex, necromancers, evil gods, and creepy abandoned houses. Happy Halloween!
