Seven authors come into a manor together, but the real question is whether they are going to be able to survive the story that they have stepped into. Mortimer Queen was a famous horror author and a legend within the genre. When he passes, it turns out that the artist left behind a will as well.

So it is that a specific group of writers discover that they have been invited to come to a last will and testament reading. While surprised, each of them has gotten their hopes up and they are really wishing that they will be able to come away with their own part of his huge fortune. It’s not an unreasonable expectation.

Each of the authors have their own connection to the literary juggernaut, which was unique in their own way. Some of the authors were already known and famous, while others were waiting to be discovered. Each of them is eager to step into the shoes of the author and prop up their own career into something that is flourishing bigger than ever.

The writers have no idea what to expect as they come to his impressive grand manor but are about to find out. Once inside, all of them are invited to play a game that has been established by the late author. The rules are easy and straight forward. Solve a riddle and then move on to the next room. If they do not, it appears that the manor will end up taking one of them for itself.

It turns out that the Queen estate is no ordinary manor. It was constructed on the bones of Mortimer’s family. Just as with any real horror story, it turns out that the house is alive in a sense and it has a hunger that is yet to be fulfilled. Which of them will be the next meal? Or can the intrepid authors find a way to outsmart this house and the situation that they have found themselves in?

Full of thrills and endlessly clever, this book brings all of the horror genre to the forefront and turns it on its head for a rollercoaster ride that will have you engrossed from beginning to end.
