A missing man’s suicide note leads a garbageman into a house where reality bends, and something ancient is waiting to crawl inside him.
Craig Filmore’s life is simple: collect rubbish, get through the day, and try not to think too hard about what might have been. That changes when he receives a suicide note from his best friend, Teo.
The note arrives by email.
The problem is, Teo is nowhere to be found.
A visit to Teo’s house uncovers blood but no body, and a cryptic address scrawled on a discarded piece of paper: 324 Calderon Avenue.
Driven by equal parts loyalty, curiosity, and terrible decision-making, Craig tracks the address to an abandoned house hidden on the edge of town. Inside, impossible spaces stretch beyond reason. Centipedes lurk in the dark. Strange manuscripts appear where they shouldn’t exist. And an itch beneath Craig’s skin begins to spread.
As the mystery surrounding Teo deepens, Craig finds himself pulled toward a force older than memory—something vast, hungry, and waiting beyond the limits of ordinary reality.
Because some houses don’t hide secrets.
They create them.
And once they choose you, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever leave unchanged.
