It's just a house, right? Houses can't hurt. Houses can't bleed.
But this house wants you to.
When the Waite family moves into their new home, they don't bargain on being unwanted guests. But this house has deep-rooted, blood soaked history, and it's angry. This Thing is Starving is an unflinchingly feminist love letter to the abused, bursting with feminine rage and told from the perspective of a haunted house.

Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life.

Facets
A collection of uncomfortable tales from across the United States. The authors have chosen to remain anonymous to maintain the semblance of normalcy their lives may yet still have. If you have an aversion to the inner workings of the human body, I would suggest you avoid "Dinner for One" and "Off to the Races." If you have an aversion to intense violence, I would recommend skipping both parts of "Home Run Contest."Complete
