Aubrey and Joel are a young married couple that have moved from California to the fictional town of Yamileth, Colorado and buy a large, rustic house to restart their lives. After hearing a mysterious and terrifying recording, the couple soon learn that they have been marked by something dark and unfathomable. Eerie occurrences, unexplained puddles of water and uncanny visitations color their early days in the house. As it becomes clear that something horrific is closing in on them, things intensify and their relationship begins to strain. Under the pressure, they break open like a geode, revealing their history, fears, inadequacies, desires and memories.

Laced with black humor, Home is a character-driven account of how we can love other people without really knowing them at all, but also about how we can find powerful connections with strangers in the face of the unknowable. With strong gothic subcurrents, the story develops in the interchange between old and new, blending old European fairy folklore with contemporary paranormal and conspiracy theories. Home is part gothic horror, part comedy, part romance and part campus novel. Above all, it’s a meditation on the fine art of trying to get by in 2021.
