Catherine House

Description

“A delicious, diverse, genre-bending gothic, as smart as it is spooky.” – Chloe Benjamin

Welcome to Catherine House, an elite and mysterious university hidden deep in the woods. For three years, students surrender their pasts, cut ties with the outside world, and commit fully to the school’s radical curriculum. No phones. No visitors. No exceptions.

Ines Murillo, a troubled young woman with nowhere else to turn, arrives at Catherine House seeking escape—not prestige. But as she settles into the school’s eerie halls and secretive culture, she begins to feel its pull. The longer she stays, the more she’s drawn into its strange rituals, whispered rumors, and the seductive promise of transformation.

What begins as isolation becomes obsession. Ines starts to question not just the school’s purpose—but her own. Why was she chosen? What is Catherine House really hiding?

Blending gothic suspense, psychological drama, and speculative science, Catherine House is a chilling exploration of identity, control, and the cost of belonging. Perfect for fans of The Secret History and Mexican Gothic, this novel lingers long after the final page.
