The house was empty when Art Wagner bought it. The land was not. Something had been living there long before he arrived. After decades of factory work, a failing marriage, and a city rotting from the inside out, Art buys an isolated home in rural Florida. Eight acres. Cheap. Quiet. Forgotten. It was supposed to be a fresh start. But at night, the woods move closer. Footsteps circle the house where no one should be. Walls bleed stains that won't wash away. The air inside the rooms feels watched. Art tells himself it's just an old house. Old houses make noise. Shadows play tricks. Loneliness distorts reality. Until the land begins to claim him. The woods remember things. The house listens. And whatever took root here doesn't want him to leave. Because this isn't just a haunted house. It's something older. Something patient. Something that has already chosen him. And it doesn't give back what it takes. All That We Destroy is a supernatural horror novel that begins as a haunted house story-and becomes something far more disturbing.
