The House That Shouldn’t Be Alive

 


The House That Shouldn’t Be Alive

Some houses are just old.

Others are broken.

And then there are houses that should not be alive—but are anyway.


Under the Floorboards is a dark, eerie story about one such house. A body is found sealed inside its foundation, still warm, as if the house itself swallowed them. The walls creak like they are breathing. The floorboards listen. And the ground beneath the house is hungry. This isn’t a story about jump scares—it’s about the slow, uncomfortable feeling that something is very wrong and has been wrong for a long time.


At the center of the story is a witch who knows better than to trust the land, yet can’t walk away when something is suffering. As she investigates, she realizes the house isn’t haunted—it’s fed. Built on stolen magic and buried fear, it survives by using people as anchors, seals, and sacrifices. The deeper she digs, the more the house pushes back, trying to keep her, just like it kept the others.


This book is written as gothic, psychological horror—quiet, heavy, and unsettling. It’s about what happens when problems are buried instead of fixed, when fear is poured into concrete, and when survival means becoming part of the problem. Nothing screams. Everything waits.


Under the Floorboards is coming soon.

And once you notice the floor creak…

you’ll never stop listening.
