Nick Gillingham knew moving before his senior year would suck, but he never imagined a nightmare like Broughton’s Hollow. On his first day in the neighborhood, he discovers The House, a ruined mansion tucked inside a crevice carved from the surrounding hillside.
It’s not bad enough that Nick begins to hear disembodied voices after the discovery. The local football team decides he is their new tackling dummy, the beautiful "queen" of the school manipulates him for her own selfish purposes, and his parents’ marriage disintegrates. Jeb Sanderson, Nick’s elderly neighbor, hints that whatever destroyed The House might have spawned the local Indian legend of the Eating Monster—and the Eating Monster may be the source of Nick’s troubles.
I'm cobbled together from too many parts: a writer, a teacher, a vintage horror junkie, dad and husband. Sometimes I tell stories. Sometimes they're good.
