Fiction

The Chosen Tenant takes a deliciously unnerving “what if” and refuses to let you look away: what if the way your brain processes language—especially under medication—could physically rewrite reality? It’s a story that starts in the familiar grind of deadlines and executive dysfunction, then slides into speculative horror with a very specific flavor: the kind that feels like it could happen to you if you answered one more email while running on fumes. And once the book reveals what the house really is—an archive that literalizes idioms and stores them behind labeled doors—it becomes clear you’re not just reading a haunted-house story. You’re reading a systems story.

There is nowhere to hide in a small town. Not when everyone knows everybody else. Where gossip and opinions spread untamed, colonising the minds of the people you love, who you once believed loved you back equally.
