Synopsis
Step onto the ice. But beware the knocking from below . . .
When Dahlia O’Connor receives a cryptic text from her estranged mother - her first in nearly a year - it sparks a terrifying mystery that leads her to Kallfell. Every year, her mother visited the ultra-exclusive alpine resort hidden deep within the frozen mountain shadows
Here, the global elite gather under a veneer of luxury and excess, but beneath the opulent dining halls and the lake’s unsettling, shifting ice lies a chilling secret. The wealthy aren't just vacationing; they are participating in archaic rituals to defy mortality.
As Dahlia digs into Kallfell's traditions, and discovers what broke her mother’s mind, she must confront the ancient darkness waiting beneath the lake . . .

“Here I am, thinking I’m the one devouring The House That Eats The Dead, only to learn - too late - that Max Doty’s devilishly voracious novel ended up devouring me. Better put your fear in escrow before opening this book. Your heart's going to need it”Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside on The House that Eats the Dead
“It’s nasty, smart, satisfying, and enormously fun. I had a great time with it”Scott Hawkins, author of The Library at Mount Char on The House that Eats the Dead
“A dark, domestic fairytale that edges closer to madness with every chapter . . . Thrilling and haunting in equal measure, The House that Eats the Dead makes a banquet of everyday horrors and leaves no crumbs”Cameron Sullivan, author of The Red Winter on The House that Eats the Dead
