Women who are convicted of sexual transgressions are forced to become living seed mounds.

A lonely young man makes his perfect girl out of caulk and endeavors to teach her about the wonders of the world.

Posthaste Manor

with Carson Winter

NEVER TRUST A HOUSE WITH A NAME.

Everyone has a story about Posthaste Manor.

None of the stories end well, but that doesn’t stop the hopeful from hoping and the desperate from trying.

This composite novel stands as both history and eulogy of one very haunted house, as recounted by artists, real estate agents, and beloved family pets; by the debauched, the dead and the dying, and anyone looking for one last chance.

Raise a glass in celebration. Just don't linger within its walls for long.
