Black House cover

A retired detective must confront his haunting past to stop a serial killer in Black House, where children mysteriously disappear.

In Black House, a seemingly idyllic middle-American town conceals a dark secret. Children are vanishing without a trace, leaving behind a community gripped by fear and despair. As the detectives scramble for leads, they uncover a chilling connection to a serial killer from a century ago, whose legacy haunts the present. The stakes rise as the town becomes a hunting ground for a merciless predator, and the urgency to solve the case intensifies.

At the heart of this gripping tale is Jack Sawyer, a retired LAPD detective who has been living a quiet life but is haunted by visions of another realm. Jack's past is intertwined with the mysterious Territories, a place he once visited as a child to save his mother from death. This haunting world of violence and madness resurfaces as he grapples with his memories, which hold the key to understanding the current horrors plaguing his town.

As the narrative unfolds, Jack is compelled to confront his childhood fears and the darkness that lies within himself. He embarks on a perilous journey to retrieve those lost memories, realizing that to save the latest victim, he must return to the very place he hoped to forget. Black House masterfully weaves elements of horror and suspense, exploring themes of memory, trauma, and the battle between good and evil.
