    Summary

    Dulvey, Louisiana, isn’t the kind of place that welcomes strangers—especially not ones like Ethan Winters, who shows up asking questions about his missing wife.

    When you cross paths with him, what begins as a simple act of kindness drags you both into a nightmare stitched from small-town charm and rot. The Bakers are dead—or they’re not. The deputy knows more than he says. The swamp hums with something that remembers.

    As the storm builds over Dulvey, the two of you uncover a truth that won’t stay buried—a truth that binds Ethan’s missing wife, the Bakers’ history, and the town itself in something older and hungrier than grief.

    And the closer you get to each other, the harder it becomes to tell if the real danger lies in the swamp…
    or in what it awakens between you.

    Summary

    After your grandmother leaves you an old glass display case stocked with oddities in her will, you come home to find a man in your apartment. Unable to kick him out, you join him in limbo as the two of you try to piece his life together. The only lead you have is a name: Rosemary.

    Meanwhile, the streets are buzzing with rumors about a new way to feel good, your neighbor thinks you're losing it, the young woman you've come to know through a food sharing group struggles to find her independence, and your past starts to feel like more of a ghost than your own haunting.

    Or, movie dates with the fatherly poltergeist haunting your apartment keep getting interrupted.

    Summary

    Calling it a date would be presumptuous, but it would also be incorrect. You never make it inside. This doesn't deter Ethan from inviting you to share his bed with him, though, never mind that you still can't figure out where he places you in his life.

    As it turns out, he already knows precisely where to put you.

    Summary

    On July 19th, 2017, you drive to Louisiana with nothing but a suspicious email and revived hopes of bringing your missing fiancé home. But upon your arrival nothing feels right, between the ominous town of Dulvey, the dilapidated mansion you were summoned to, and the hardheaded stranger who insists on breaking and entering.

    Cue the longest summer of your life.

    (Alternatively: The AU where Ethan goes to the police first and chaos still ensues.)

    Summary

    A year working alongside Ethan has you putting presentations together, taking coffee breaks with another, sharing jokes no one else bothers to get. By far, it's the most rewarding job you've had, though it also requires significant amounts of self-control.

    Then, a late night at the office runs later when Ethan asks you a deceptively simple question.
