The Last House That Answered
A house doesn't haunt you.
It waits.
When Eli Mercer accepts a routine job documenting an abandoned property in a dying town, he expects dust, rot, and silence.
What he finds is a house that understands hesitation.
Doors that don't stay shut.
Hallways that stretch when you pause.
A place that doesn't trap people outright, but feeds on unfinished choices.
Eli escapes-but the house doesn't let him go.
As the influence spreads beyond Briar Hollow, Eli realizes the truth: the house doesn't need walls anymore. It moves through ordinary spaces. Apartment buildings. Hospitals. Hotels. Anywhere people linger between decisions.
And now it's using him.
Forced into an impossible role as a living threshold, Eli must decide who gets close, who walks away, and how many lives he's willing to endanger to stop something far worse. But the more he resists, the faster the house adapts-and the clearer it becomes that it may not be the only thing learning how to survive.
The Last House That Answered is a fast-paced psychological horror novel about systems that consume quietly, spaces that don't stay neutral, and the terrifying cost of control.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
Psychological and supernatural horror with grounded realism
Creeping dread over jump scares
Haunted house stories with modern, original twists
"Normal people + abnormal terror"
Horror that lingers after the last page
This is not a story about ghosts.
It's about what happens when the places you trust start making choices for you.
