Welcome to the first installment of House! If you are here for another classic horror story, please be advised they have now been moved to Thursday. You may read all about it in 🎟️ Backstage Pass, Vol II No XII: House is Coming Home. Moving forward to end of this volume, House will be published regularly on Wednesdays. Read on to find out more!

We are so fucking excited to bring this story home, Backstage, where it belongs. We here at the Calamity had attempted to do something a tad different with this story; writing out in the open, we wanted to use it to rope in and expand our social media presence. And in the end we had to pull it from the platform we attempted to write it on thanks to that platform’s commitment to training their AI with every piece of content published to the platform.

Fucking terrible.

Well, we want nothing to do with that, particularly as this is proprietary IP. So here we are now, home with House. The story was well on its way—sort of—with five chapters published to the social media platform. Now, we’re not going to make you go over there and read those chapters, as they’ve been pulled. What we are going to do is a bit of editing and condensing to bring you up to speed with the story over the next few weeks.

So please, come in and make yourself comfortable! The house is large, spacious, though it has no furniture at the moment, as it is between owners. And whatever you do, take care you don’t overstay your welcome. The house, it hungers, and it is injudicious: any meal will do, including you.
