In Franklin, strange happenings abound. Over the past few years, five men have disappeared in the course of their stay in town.
To the dismay of crime junkies, however, these missing men have nothing in common whatsoever other than the fact that they all stayed in an inn-the sole inn in Franklin-during their doomed visit.
Of the inn and Franklin, people say it is haunted, and maybe for the best. So what happens when crime reporter Stevie and photojournalist Andy decide to dig in deeper? Is the place really haunted, or is there more to it than what meets the eye?

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
