Evelyn Hart loses her corporate job overnight when her company is acquired-and her department erased like it never existed. With rent due, savings shrinking, and LA swallowing her whole, she applies to a too-perfect listing in the middle of the night: Estate Caretaker - live-in. Discretion required. Excellent compensation. She gets the contract in thirty seconds. No interview. No company name. She signs anyway. A plane ticket arrives minutes later. Eldermoor House waits for her outside Edinburgh-an ancient mansion with modern amenities, a forest that refuses to stay silent, and a black lake called Loch Glass that reflects things that shouldn't be there. Evie tells herself she doesn't believe in ghosts. She's just a modern witch-salt, wards, herbs, rituals. Nothing supernatural. But Eldermoor isn't interested in what she believes. The house has men in it. Three of them. All dead. And all of them want her.

"This chilling tale came to me in a nightmare so real, that I woke up. No fiction-just what my subconscious unleashed."

Weeks later, a grimy shoebox appears on his porch containing two blind, trembling kittens that bite with unnatural intent and demand endless milk, their saucers draining dry overnight. What begins as a fragile distraction from whiskey-fueled grief spirals into cosmic horror: the kittens multiply explosively, birthing grotesque litters in shadowed corners, growing from helpless blobs to feral adults in hours, their green eyes piercing Leo's unraveling mind.
