The House on Maple Street — Every owner disappears after seven years.
Seven years of peace, one final month of terror in a house that hungers
Callum Vesper is a man who trusts his tools. As a master carpenter, he believes that if a structure is sound, there is nothing to fear. Six years and eleven months ago, he bought the sprawling estate on Maple Street, laughing off the local legends that every owner vanishes after exactly seven years. Now, his time is almost up. The house is beginning to change. Walls shift inches overnight, and the floorboards thrum with a rhythmic, wet heartbeat that defies every law of physics. Callum isn't alone in his struggle; Hester Lowery, a neighbor who has kept a grim tally of the disappeared for decades, knows the truth. Together with Jules Vance, a relentless journalist seeking the story of a lifetime, they peel back the wallpaper to find a nightmare. Deep within the foundation dwells the spirit of Silas Thorne, an architect who never truly died. He has turned the house into a living organism that feeds on the memories and marrow of its residents. With a local conspiracy protecting the house's dark secret and a detective standing in their way, Callum must decide: will he become the next ghost in the grain, or will he burn his life's work to the ground to end the hunger?
