“Funny thing about rumors, it doesn’t matter if they're true or false, only that people believe them.” - Kill Creek by Scott Thomas.
Perhaps you have heard this story before; huddled around a flickering campfire, or circled around a flashlight in the comfortable darkness of a slumber party. Perhaps you are getting it confused with another haunted house story that you have heard.
This is a love letter to vulnerability, isolation, corruption and fear.

How did you find yourself at Montgomery House, or more rightfully speaking, how did
The House find you?
Did you read about its grisly history in a news article? Maybe you grew up hearing the rumors about the place, and curiosity has gotten the best of you? Maybe your friends dared you to spend a night, maybe they bet you that you couldn't? Are you in a career field that leads your interest to be tickled by the articles and short story encounters written about the infamous Hell House? Did you find the Help Wanted ad posted somewhere while job hunting? Are you hoping to study, to give some sort of scientific explanation to such an unexplainable happening? Are you the type convinced that there’s life after death, or the type to call that nonsense? Perhaps you need to prove it, to yourself or others? Are you just
dying to know how much truth lies beneath the stories?
It doesn't exactly matter how you came across it, but what does matter is that once the House has bled into your mind, it will not be let out. The House has penetrated your thoughts, it haunts your dreams. It calls to you, it howls like some feral thing for you to, "
come home!"
