The Tenant - Hell Hare House Short Reads, #35

In a farmhouse where shadows whisper and walls bleed, escape is only a mirage. Steve Gellar is a man on the brink, struggling to rebuild his life after the crushing blows of divorce and addiction. In a desperate bid for a fresh start, he finds himself renting a basement apartment in a remote farmhouse in Upstate New York. The house, owned by the reclusive and eerily composed Mrs. Hughes, seems like a place where Steve can finally get back on his feet.
But as the days pass, strange occurrences begin to plague Steve's new home-unexplained noises, mysterious disappearances, and a growing sense of dread that he can't shake. What starts as minor irritations soon escalate into a full-blown nightmare as Steve realizes he is not alone in the house-and that something far more sinister is at play. As he struggles to keep his sanity, Steve must confront not only the horrors lurking within the farmhouse but also the demons of his past that have haunted him for so long. The Tenant is a chilling tale of psychological and supernatural terror, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and survival becomes a desperate battle against the unknown.
