Horrid Torrid — Stephen Donald Huff

A young, newlywed couple. A new custom home. A good life. Yet nothing can ever be perfect. When the man of the house begins to experience bizarre nightmares involving a disturbing, pantomime face appearing in his wife's voluminous closet night after night, his sanity becomes an issue. At the same time, the lady of the house complains about mysterious disappearances, though she sleeps soundly at night. Though their evenings at home are filled with playful lovemaking in the first months spent in their lavish new dwelling, a chill begins to settle over them with the passage of time. Are his nightmares simply figments of an overworked imagination? Is she absolutely certain her missing belongings have not simply been misplaced? When disturbing images and inexplicable disappearances plague a young couple in their new home, they begin to question every facet of their lives.
