Mercy House

Mercy House was abandoned years ago. It never stopped running.

Nine months after his wife's death, Craig has eight kids to get through school mornings and bills that keep coming. A renovation job at an abandoned hospice outside Gatesville could help. He can handle mold, water damage, and a few ghost stories.

Then a call button rings in an empty room. A hospital bracelet bears Brittany's first name and initial. Through an old speaker, a voice he knows says his name.

Craig and his crew try to leave. Their trucks are gone. So is the road.

Inside Mercy House, sealed wards and flooded tunnels lead them deeper into a building that knows what they have lost. For Craig, every familiar sound offers another reason to stay.

His children are waiting at home. Getting back to them means turning away from the voice he has spent nine months wishing he could hear again.

Mercy House is the first book in The Hollow Archive, a connected supernatural horror series about haunted places, grief, and the things people carry home.
