Every Window, the Same House

An unnaturally large moon rises over the water outside a quiet lakeside town, and from that first night on, everyone begins dreaming of the same house - its rooms, its stairs, its locked door at the end of the hall. Cole Donovan, Rebecca Holloway, and Nathan Graves are the first to compare notes and realize the dream isn't a coincidence. As the moon grows brighter and the townspeople grow more sleepless, the three of them race to find out whether the house is a memory, a warning, or an invitation - before Blackwater stops waking up at all.

Connor Hayes CH writes quiet, atmospheric horror rooted in small towns, old water, and the things people choose to forget. Drawn to stories where the supernatural feels less like an invasion and more like an old debt finally being collected, Hayes blends folk horror with slow-burn dread. When not writing, Hayes can be found near lakes at dusk, taking notes on places locals go quiet about.
