Marcy and Owen Parker, young newlyweds eager for a fresh start, have finally found a house they can afford. At first glance, it seems like the perfect starter home. But as they try to settle in, they notice flaws beyond the needed renovations—scratching noises at the bedroom windows at night, inexplicable things hidden behind the walls, and a garden that seems to move with a mind of its own.
​
Tensions flare as they try to salvage their dreams of a life together. Owen becomes obsessed with unearthing the house’s mysterious past. As his fixation deepens and the strangeness spreads beyond their white picket fence, Marcy faces an impossible choice: try to save her husband from himself and whatever lives behind the walls, or get out before the secrets beneath the house consume them both.
​
They wanted to grow together, but something else is growing between them... and it’s darker than they ever imagined.
PRAISE FOR DORMANT:
"[DORMANT] is precisely what the genre needs. It’s creative, fresh, and immersive...[the] sense of spatial awareness and characterization in the narrative shines through very powerfully."
​
A chilling blend of found footage, cosmic horror, and eco-horror, DORMANT unearths the terrifying intersection of the natural world and the unknowable.
​
A found footage horror novella in the spirit of Sinister, with a creature ripped from the underbelly of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation in a terrifying blend of psychological and ecological horror.
