The Neighborhood is a domestic gothic horror novel about a house that listens, a neighborhood built on secrets, and the terrifying cost of being loved by something that wants to keep you.
Riley is supposed to be starting over. He has plans to get a place of his own, build a life on his own terms, and create a home for himself and his cat, Chloe. But when his new boyfriend Caleb offers him something that feels easier, faster, and more certain, Riley is pulled toward Caleb’s house in Eden’s Edge, a picture-perfect suburban neighborhood outside Houston where everything looks safe and nothing feels wrong. At first.
Then the house begins to notice him.
The windows do not reflect the outside world. They reflect the rooms behind him. Doors seem to watch him. The neighbors are warm, welcoming, and far too interested in what happens behind closed doors. Even Caleb, charming and dependable on the surface, begins to feel like part of the trap, with his rules, his control, and his insistence that everything is fine.
But Eden’s Edge is not just a neighborhood. It is a system fed by obedience, secrets, and the things people are willing to sacrifice for love, comfort, and the illusion of home.
As Riley’s world narrows and the pressure inside the house builds, he begins to understand the truth: some places do not let people leave unchanged. Some doors do not open to freedom. And some monsters do not need claws or shadows when they can wear the face of someone you trust.
Set in an ordinary modern suburb where evil hides behind manicured lawns and friendly smiles, The Neighborhood blends domestic gothic horror, psychological dread, supernatural terror, and dark relationship tension into a chilling story of control, coercion, and the cost of being kept.
The Neighborhood is Book One of The KEPT, an evolving horror series. Book Two, Kept in the Dark, is currently in editing, and Book Three, Kept in Plain Sight, is currently being written.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Where the lawns are perfect, the doors are always open-and nothing ever leaves.Riley has always been drawn to quiet places. But the quiet in Eden's Edge isn't peace. It's patience.When Riley moves into his boyfriend Caleb's house at the edge of a picture-perfect cul-de-sac, he's promised a fresh start. A new job. A future. A home.But the house has other plans.It begins with small wrongnesses: windows that reflect rooms they shouldn't, a closet that breathes in the dark, and a wreath of thorns left on the porch as a "welcome." The neighbors are too friendly, their smiles too fixed. And Caleb-charming, steady, controlling Caleb-has rules for everything. Questions with right and wrong answers. A notebook where Riley's responses are graded.Correct response.Incorrect response.Then Chloe dies. Riley's cat-his constant through every heartbreak, the one living thing that loved him without conditions-is found still and cold in a room she was never supposed to enter. And in the days that follow, Riley starts seeing her in the windows. Watching. Waiting. Purring.As the house tightens its grip, Riley realizes the truth: Eden's Edge isn't a neighborhood. It's an ecosystem. And it runs on secrets.When his best friend Jessie is dragged into the basement that shouldn't exist, Riley must face the source of the darkness-a presence that wears three faces: a lover's tenderness, a friend's concern, and a stranger's hunger. The Devil doesn't want his fear. It wants his love.To save the people he loves, Riley must make a choice no one should have to make. And in a house that collects souls like debts, the only way out. is through.The Neighborhood is a queer domestic gothic horror about control, coercion, and the cost of being kept. For fans of Mexican Gothic, The Haunting of Hill House, and stories where the scariest monsters wear the faces of the people we trust. This item is printed on demand.
