Some houses keep secrets. Others feed on them.
When Evelyn Morrow inherits the eerie, decaying Ravenhurst House, she's not looking for answers-just solitude. A reclusive writer with a haunted past, Evelyn is used to shadows. But Ravenhurst doesn't just house them.
It births them.
Every night, as thunder shudders through the sky, he appears.
A man. Still. Silent. Unmoving. Watching her from beyond the fence with eyes like carved obsidian.
Fear coils in her throat, but so does something darker-curiosity. Need.
He never speaks. He never enters.
But she knows he's waiting.
As Evelyn begins to unravel the secrets of Ravenhurst-its cursed origins, its missing women, its connection to a forgotten occult society-she finds herself drawn deeper into a chilling game of obsession, seduction, and control. Her stalker isn't just watching to torment her. He's watching to protect her-from something worse. Something coming.
And Ravenhurst won't let her leave until it has taken everything from her.
Even her sanity.
Even her soul.
"In a house that hungers for secrets and a man who thrives in darkness, Evelyn must decide: run from the monsters, or become one."

Through The Black Veil

They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive.
