The perfect house. The perfect wife. The perfect loop.

Maren Hale has the life she was supposed to want. A handsome husband. A bright daughter. A beautiful house on a quiet street.

Then she finds a door in the hallway that wasn’t there the day before.

A photograph of herself in a place she’s never been. A wedding ring engraved with the wrong name.

The house is not what it seems. It has a memory, a hunger, and a schedule. It has made wives before. It will make them again.

The Speculative Housewife is a genre-mashup thriller that fuses domestic suspense, psychological dread, and speculative horror into one propulsive story. If you love books that make the ordinary feel wrong, this is for you.

For readers of Nightbitch, The Stepford Wives, and Black Mirror.

Some houses don’t haunt. They rewrite.
