“Somewhere Quiet, Full of Light” tells the story of Eric Tillman, a once-starving artist who has spent his life dreaming of a home where his kids could escape screaming landlords and the sting of poverty. So, when his husband Mike, a house-flipper with a jeweler’s eye for abandoned places, discovers a strange, but exciting old house in upstate New York, it feels like the perfect answer to all their prayers.
But once the family moves in, it isn’t long before Eric learns that some chances are too costly to take.
This house has standards it lives by, expectations which must be met.
And on the long, relentless road between perfection and salvation … some doors lead only to ruin.
According to biographical information provided in a news release, Henry Corrigan is a husband and father, bisexual creative and emerging author who dreams of writing every kind of story.
His debut horror novel, “A Man in Pieces,” won the Literary Titan Silver Book Award and was shortlisted for the Top 25 Indie Books of the Year.
