Welcome to the Hutchins

Behind the white picket fences and polite smiles of suburbia lies a hunger older than America. Marco and Gina Hutchins are the perfect neighbors—warm, inviting, always ready to welcome a guest. But their hospitality hides a chilling truth: they don’t host dinner parties. They host dinners.

When down-on-his-luck schoolteacher Manny Holand accepts an invitation to stay at their charming home, he finds more than just homemade pie and fluffy towels. He discovers a secret cult, “The Communion of Flesh,” whose rituals stretch back to colonial times and whose feasts are anything but symbolic.

As Manny plunges deeper into the Communion’s horrors—from Vatican feasting chambers to whispered ceremonies in the Far East—he learns he’s no ordinary guest. He’s the Chalice Boy, the center of a dark prophecy, and now, the hunted has become the hunter.

Welcome to the Hutchins’ is a haunting blend of horror, dark satire, and psychological suspense. With each chapter peeling back another layer of blood-stained civility, this novel will leave you questioning just how well you know your neighbors—and what’s really simmering behind closed doors.

Perfect for fans of Get Out, Hannibal, and The Wicker Man, this is intelligent horror that lingers in your gut long after the last bite.
