They come to dinner. They always come to dinner. For twenty-six years, the Harrisons have arrived at the Ashford family home every Saturday evening. No one has ever cancelled. No one has ever been late. And no one -- not Marcus, not his father, not his mother Eleanor, who sets the table with hands that have started to shake -- can remember what the Harrisons look like. When Marcus returns after three years away, he expects the usual strained silence and the usual impeccable dinner. What he doesn't expect is the gap in his own memory: a lifetime of Saturday evenings with guests he cannot picture. Cannot name. Cannot describe, no matter how hard he tries. The closer Marcus looks, the more wrong everything becomes. His mother is coming apart. The house holds its breath on Saturdays. And the dinner guests -- Edmund and Clara Harrison, who have been eating at this table since 1693 -- are not what they seem. Some debts are inherited. Some appetites never end. And some houses have been paying their due for longer than anyone alive can remember. A gothic horror novella about courtesy, appetite, and the things we feed to the people we invite in. For readers of Shirley Jackson, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and anyone who has ever felt trapped by politeness. Available in Kindle Unlimited.
