A family moves into their dream home--only to discover that it hides an insatiable hunger--in this dread-laced and darkly outrageous domestic horror novel.

Doty's devilishly voracious novel ended up devouring me.--Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes and Devil Inside

The new house is a fresh start for Claire and her family. It's a move away from the cityscape of a declining San Francisco and towards the quiet suburban life she has craved since her turbulent childhood; a step up the corporate ladder for her husband, Tom; and a safe haven for their two children.

Yet as they unpack their boxes, she senses something is wrong. Fresh flowers dry up, store-bought eggs are inexplicably hollow, and her daughter's favorite toy disappears. Claire soon confronts a series of impossible truths: The house is hungry. It's devouring anything that was once alive. And only Claire and Tom, the owners of the house, will remember that this food ever existed.

When Claire exploits the house's power in a moment of weakness, she and the house forge a fragile bond. But as its hunger intensifies and Claire loses control, she fears who else might be drawn to her home--and what sinister appetites they'll bring.
