The House Under the Salt
When a flooded terrace house in Limerick starts leaking seawater through its walls, a forensic cleaner named Maeve is hired to clear it out before the property goes on the market. She finds the house has been keeping something old and patient in the dark, and every room seems to remember a different version of the same death. The deeper Maeve digs, the more the house begins to bargain with her.
