A House Hungry For Blood - Hardcover

by Justin Pettyjohn (Author)

In A House Hungry for Blood, Eleanor and Thomas leave the suffocating pace of the city for the "Victorian dream" of Blackwood Manor-a looming estate that feels less like a home and more like a calling. But their fresh start is sealed with a contract containing unsettling, archaic clauses-"cyclical regeneration" and a "residency tithe"-that read less like legal boilerplate and more like a warning.

Soon, the manor begins to change: windows open onto impossible brick walls, doors appear where wood once stood, and hallways subtly reshape overnight-turning daily life into a living labyrinth. As food spoils at unnatural speed and the air thickens with decay, the couple realizes the house doesn't merely contain evil-it feeds.

To survive, Eleanor and Thomas must trace the manor's hunger to its source-an ancient, pulsing nexus buried deep within the estate-and gamble everything on severing the house from the corrupt heart that animates it.
