Daniel Mercer thought renting out a spare room would solve his problems. Instead, it unlocked something buried deep inside his house.
When Evelyn Shaw answers his listing, she seems quiet, observant, almost too perfect. But the night she moves in, small things begin to shift. A misplaced object. A cold room. A knock from behind the walls. Then the police uncover a body hidden beneath the basement stairs a body that does not match any official record.
As suspicion spirals and reality fractures, Daniel begins to realize the house is not just hiding secrets from the past. It is watching. Testing. Rearranging itself around him. And when his tenant disappears without a trace, the structure begins to close in.
Doors lock without being touched. Walls breathe. Police can no longer see what he sees. Because some houses are not haunted.
They are hungry.
The Perfect Tenant is a chilling supernatural horror novel about isolation, hidden spaces, and the terrifying cost of noticing what should remain unseen.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn dread, psychological descent, and houses that do not forgive.
