Where the lawns are perfect, the doors are always open-and nothing ever leaves.
Riley has always been drawn to quiet places. But the quiet in Eden's Edge isn't peace. It's patience.
When Riley moves into his boyfriend Caleb's house at the edge of a picture-perfect cul-de-sac, he's promised a fresh start. A new job. A future. A home.
But the house has other plans.
It begins with small wrongnesses: windows that reflect rooms they shouldn't, a closet that breathes in the dark, and a wreath of thorns left on the porch as a "welcome." The neighbors are too friendly, their smiles too fixed. And Caleb-charming, steady, controlling Caleb-has rules for everything. Questions with right and wrong answers. A notebook where Riley's responses are graded.
Correct response.
Incorrect response.
Then Chloe dies. Riley's cat-his constant through every heartbreak, the one living thing that loved him without conditions-is found still and cold in a room she was never supposed to enter. And in the days that follow, Riley starts seeing her in the windows. Watching. Waiting. Purring.
As the house tightens its grip, Riley realizes the truth: Eden's Edge isn't a neighborhood. It's an ecosystem. And it runs on secrets.
When his best friend Jessie is dragged into the basement that shouldn't exist, Riley must face the source of the darkness-a presence that wears three faces: a lover's tenderness, a friend's concern, and a stranger's hunger. The Devil doesn't want his fear. It wants his love.
To save the people he loves, Riley must make a choice no one should have to make. And in a house that collects souls like debts, the only way out... is through.
The Neighborhood is a queer domestic gothic horror about control, coercion, and the cost of being kept. For fans of Mexican Gothic, The Haunting of Hill House, and stories where the scariest monsters wear the faces of the people we trust.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
