When newlywed Rachel Corrigan arrives at her husband’s ancestral home in a desolate forest town, she expects a brief stay in the grand but crumbling Corrigan House. What she finds instead is a town emptied by time, a house shadowed by secrets, and a husband who seems increasingly like a stranger
The townspeople whisper of the dead. The church stands rotting, its priest raving of ghosts. And beneath the forest floor, something ancient stirs
As Rachel uncovers the truth about her husband’s first wife—Lavinia, who vanished under suspicious circumstances—she becomes entangled in a web of grief, betrayal, and long-buried sins. But Lavinia’s story is not over.
It’s just begun.
A haunting literary Gothic with the emotional resonance of Shirley Jackson and the decaying beauty of Rebecca, The Hungry Deep is a story of the horrors we inherit, the women we forget, and the price of silence.
