Summary

After his city life crashes, Reggie Neet gets a new start when he inherits a secluded estate on Lake Wyrd in a North Carolina forest. But the lake front home harbors more than just the chance to dwell closer to nature.
 
With the property comes a library of mystical texts, his uncle’s very large and telepathic cat, and a neighboring coven of witches, including the captivating Samantha. Reggie’s hope for a peaceful return to nature evaporates when Sinrix, the cat, lets Reggie know there is a mystery to solve about his uncle’s demise, and Samantha insists that Reggie has untapped magical potential.
 
Skeptical but intrigued, Reggie takes his first steps into a world he never believed in. But after bodies begin to surface and a certain Detective Mullins becomes suspicious, Reggie must embrace his latent druidic powers and unravel the truth behind the murders - before he becomes the next victim.
 
Mystery and romance make for a compelling mix in this layered cozy paranormal tale. Can Reggie rise to the challenge and uncover his true destiny, or will the shadow over Lake Wyrd claim him forever?

    A long-lost screenplay for a notorious, never-filmed episode of the original Hammer House of Horror series has been novelised, revealing the chilling story that was so cursed, it shut down the entire second season of the show. 
The Blood That Binds plunges into a seemingly ordinary market town where a terrifying, centuries-old ritual has taken root. A man is imprisoned in a cold, damp cellar, suspended on a hook as a captive witness to unthinkable horrors orchestrated by the merciless figure named Huseevo. 
As the prisoner endures intense psychological torment and physical pain, he listens to the methodical snick-snick of a blade being sharpened, knowing the ritual—the feeding—is about to begin on another unseen victim. This is not a story of a haunted house, but a home where pure, ancient evil is deliberately cultivated, requiring a constant stream of new souls to sustain its existence for another century. 
The man's only hope for survival is to carry the knowledge of the truth to the outside world, as requested by those who have already been consumed. 
A tale of psychological dread, ancient pacts, and the cruellest role of all: not the victim, but the witness who lives to remember the horror that binds us all.
