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?

From the neon-soaked jazz clubs of Harlem to the desolate, mosquito-ridden marshes of Florida, Gracie Sterling-Vaughn’s life has always been defined by the distance between what is seen and what is real. In 1938, her parents—musicians turned government mathematicians—are swept away to Cape Canaveral for a project that doesn't exist on any map. Growing up in the shadow of primitive rockets, Gracie watches the sky with a growing sense of unease. The stars over the Cape don't align with the maps she memorized in New York, and her grandmother’s cryptic tales hint at a history that predates every textbook. Now a premier test pilot at the height of the Cold War, Gracie is finally poised to claim her place among the stars. But when the telemetry of a new engine mirrors the syncopated rhythms of her father’s old sheet music, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the Space Race isn't a journey toward the future, but a desperate scramble to reclaim a forgotten past. Deep in orbit, surrounded by a graveyard of 1920s spacecraft, Gracie must choose between the official lies that keep the world stable and a truth that could ignite a global firestorm. The Starlet of Cape Canaveral is a sweeping epic of family legacies, clandestine missions, and the rhythmic heartbeat of the cosmos.
