A monster-in-the-house fantasy/sci-fi novel

A whimsical fantasy about bravery, belonging, and a house that won’t shut up.

After losing his home, his academic standing, his job prospects, and his patience for being humiliated, Toven Fuz accepts a strange but promising offer: a caretaker position for a very old house on the outskirts of town. The pay is good, the rules are few, and for the first time in years, he finally has a place of his own.

But not everything is as it seems.

When Toven begins to hear voices, he fears he is losing his mind. However, faster than a teapot can dance the Merengue, Toven finds himself the reluctant master of a house-full of opinionated objects—and in the crosshairs of geological forces that could spell disaster for his coastal town and beyond.

To save his house, his town, and possibly the world, Toven must learn to trust the very last people he would ever choose as friends to overcome a threat too strange and terrible to ignore.
