Who are you feeding?
New York, 1899: Working class nobody Jasper is whisked away to a castle in the mountains by his wealthy lover Leo. It's supposed to be a romantic escape, even if Jasper is officially here as a servant. But his dreams are soon dashed as he's worked to the bone and demeaned by Leo's callous, conservative family. Trapped in the isolated castle, with even his lover against him, Jasper sees no choice but to accept this rotten treatment. That is, until he makes an unlikely friend: the man in the walls.
Chained in a hidden room, the man won't say who imprisoned him or why. He demands to be kept a secret, and for Jasper to bring him a steady supply of his favorite meal: leeches. Bizarre, but it becomes easier to swallow when the man promises great rewards for Jasper's help: money, power, revenge.
Jasper doesn't see anything wrong with taking the deal. He believes his hard times will soon be over-until he's forced to confront the monster he's been feeding.
Leech is an atmospheric horror of manipulation, sexuality, and class from debut author Gabriel Ryves.
