Mercy House was abandoned years ago. It never stopped running. Craig and his construction crew accept a renovation job inside an abandoned hospice outside Gatesville. They expect mold, collapsing walls, and a paycheck large enough to ignore the stories nobody in town likes discussing. Then call buttons begin chiming inside empty rooms. Phones ring with voices that should be dead. Hallways lead somewhere they shouldn't.
Beneath the property, flooded tunnels, sealed wards, and forgotten records reveal what Mercy House has been preserving since the night it closed. The building feeds on grief. It studies the memories people cannot release and rebuilds them into something almost real. For Craig, that means Brittany-the wife he lost and would give anything to see again. As Mercy House closes around them, Craig must lead whoever remains back to the surface before their deepest losses become reasons to stay forever.
Mercy House is the first book in The Hollow Archive, a connected psychological supernatural horror series about haunted places, distorted memories, and the darkness people carry home.
