BOOK BLURB:
Two gay men find their dream home is a nightmare instead, and potentially very dangerous.

BOOK REVIEW:
Coffee shop-chain entrepreneur Tommy and corporate attorney Geoffrey have only been life partners for a few years; in Geoffrey’s case, although he’s in his forties, love was late in finding him and Tommy is his first steady man. Very close and much in love, Tommy and Geoffrey suddenly find that their own newly-purchased glorious antique home may come between them.

Built in the mid-1850’s, a house this size and of this age must surely have a history. Whatever it might be (and the house manages to throw out lots of hints), it’s a horrifying one. Additionally, the house seems to determine to injure Tommy and Geoffrey, or at minimum, to separate them. Even their close friends Paul and Seung are endangered.

Something still lives on in that house, and it’s not some benign grandmotherly presence. Instead, whatever possesses the house is bent on a malignant purpose, and Geoffrey and Tommy stand in its way.

"The House on Capitol Hill" is an utterly delightful, lovely, first-rate novel with appeal to readers of m/m, horror, mystery, paranormal, supernatural, and those who love exciting (and frightening!) plot twists and convolutions and good character evolution. Author Jeffrey Lynn Stoddard’s writing style is compelling and makes the story a real page-turner. I couldn’t put it down. Mr. Stoddard has become my next “must-read author.”
