The House with the Stained Glass Door is a brutal, atmospheric horror-thriller about six students who rent an old boarding house and discover survival is a game with rules that cut like glass: close your eyes, count to ten, don't breathe, don't open them, pray.
Marla-the last to arrive and the only one drawn to the forbidden room-finds a perfect miniature of the house waiting inside, its tiny doors opening in tandem with doors that should never move. As mirrors learn hunger, floorboards unzip like throats, and laughter slithers through the walls, the house reveals an inherited appetite-one taught by cruelty and perfected by time.
One by one, the game takes them in grotesque, intimate ways, until Marla, a Black heroine who refuses to be anyone's prey, fights back with ritual, grit, and the ugliest kind of hope. For readers who crave handcrafted dread, visceral body horror, and hauntings that linger like bruises, The House with the Stained Glass Door promises a scream you'll feel in your bones-and a silence that's worse.
