Infectious

By L. Chambers Wright

Thus with a kiss, you die...

When Melanie Smallwood inherits a sudden fortune, she finally claims the one thing she's longed for: Elysium, a grand Southern estate lost to time and mystery. Elegant. Ancient. Haunted. From the moment she arrives, something awakens.

Visitors fall ill. Whispers echo through the halls. The gardens rot beneath invisible hands. An old plague-thought buried for over a century-rises again. But this is no ordinary disease. It's older than memory. Hungrier than death.

As the estate's past claws its way into the present, Melanie discovers that Elysium doesn't want to be saved. It wants more souls.

Infectious is a chilling paranormal thriller blending gothic horror, cursed inheritance, and supernatural suspense. Perfect for fans of Mexican Gothic, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Rebecca.

Some houses hold secrets.
This one holds a sickness.
