PLEASE STOP FEEDING THE HALLWAY

The rent was cheap. The apartment was decent. The hallway was another story.When Mara Ellis moves into Southwell House, she expects the usual problems that come with an old apartment building. Bad plumbing, strange neighbors, maybe a landlord who takes forever to fix things.What she doesn't expect is a bowl of cat food sitting outside an apartment nobody lives in.Every night at 9:13, something comes to eat it.Mara never sees what it is. She only hears the scratching, the crunching, and eventually, a voice calling her name.Then a warning appears beneath her door:PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE HALLWAY.Nobody wants to explain what that means. Not the nervous landlord. Not the elderly neighbor who keeps leaving food outside. And certainly not whoever—or whatever—is hiding behind apartment 3B.As Mara starts digging into the building's history, she discovers that people have been disappearing, memories have been changing, and some of the residents can no longer remember the people they love.The worst part? Whatever lives in the hallway knows exactly what everyone misses most.And it's getting better at pretending it can give those things back.Please Stop Feeding the Hallway is a supernatural horror novel about a building with too many secrets, the things we can't bear to forget, and the danger of answering a voice that sounds like someone you love.Some doors are better left closed. Especially when something on the other side knows your name.
