The Maw of Harrowdean

The Maw of HarrowdeanThe house has been growing for four hundred years. It's been waiting for someone who can read it. When Dr. Fenn Cawley is sent to survey Harrowdean House before its demolition, he expects decay. Sagging floors. Dry rot. The usual complaints of a building that's been standing since 1623. What he finds is a corridor four feet longer on the inside than the outside. A nursery with two thousand tally marks carved into the wall. A chair facing a single question: *WILL YOU STAY?* The house is warm where no heating runs. It grows doors on days that begin with T. And every seventy years, for four centuries, a child has disappeared inside its walls - not taken, not trapped. Invited. Now the house is asking again. And Cawley - a man who's spent his life listening to what buildings say behind their walls - is about to hear a question he's been waiting his whole life to answer. **The Maw of Harrowdean** is a supernatural thriller about the terrible patience of things that have been waiting since before the first stone was laid.
