The House at Blackmere Close
When a software tester returns to Coventry to clear out his late aunt’s terrace house, he finds that the building keeps changing in ways that no surveyor would sign off on. Old letters, sealed rooms and a family history of disappearances suggest the house has been editing the people who live in it, trimming them down to something it can keep. The more he tries to document what is happening, the less certain he becomes that his own memories are still his.
