Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Some inheritances are more than heirlooms-they are hungry. In the quiet hush of a house still heavy with grief, Emily Adams does what she has always done: she holds things together. It has been thirty-seven days since her mother Juliette's funeral, and Emily meets each morning with measured rituals: school lunches made, surfaces wiped clean, conversations kept to safe, shallow waters. Her husband Jack is distant, retreating into work and silence. Her teenage daughter Lily smoulders with an anger Emily cannot soothe. Only her young son Max, with his solemn eyes, seems to see her clearly, but he too has started glancing into corners as if expecting something to be waiting. When a parcel arrives from the estate lawyers, Emily assumes it holds the final, mundane pieces of her mother's life: letters, trinkets, the last physical traces of Juliette. Instead, nestled in tissue paper gone brittle with age, she finds a velvet box. Inside, an opal necklace winks up at her with cold fire: emerald, sapphire, and a venomous crimson that seems to pulse in the dim kitchen light. The moment the clasp clicks shut at her nape, the world shifts. A wave of icy dread steals her breath. The air grows heavy, the familiar scent of her mother's perfume curdling into something cloying and wrong. For a dizzying heartbeat, Emily sees her mother's face twisted in pure terror, a silent scream, and then the vision is gone, leaving only the stone's feverish warmth against her collarbone and a single, urgent thought: Take it off. A Binding of Spite is a haunting domestic horror novel that draws the reader into the fragile spaces between love and loss, control and chaos. With elegant prose and slow-building dread, Stanley Finch weaves a tale of a family already cracking under the weight of grief, and a beautiful heirloom that carries a legacy far darker than anyone could imagine. As the opal's presence seeps into the walls of the Adams home, small cruelties sharpen, shadows deepen, and the bonds that hold a family together begin to twist into something else entirely. Perfect for readers who crave psychological depth with their supernatural chills, this story asks: what if the thing you inherit is not a memory, but a hunger And how do you save a family when the very love that holds you together is the thing that's destroying you. …
