The Tack Room

Send us a text

The howling wind carries more than just a storm to Suzanne McPhail's newly purchased farmhouse. Something ancient and malevolent stirs behind a padlocked door—a door the previous owner hadn't opened in precisely thirty-seven years.

When the horses begin to panic, Suzanne follows her therapist's intuition to the source of the disturbance. What emerges from the forbidden tack room defies explanation: a gaunt, spider-like entity with phosphorescent green eyes and elongated limbs that move with jerky, unnatural precision. But what happens next shatters all expectations. Her horses—Goliath, Rudy, Liam, and Belle—transform from frightened animals into fierce protectors, driven by "a primal instinct older than domestication itself." Their coordinated attack against the shrieking creature creates a brutal battleground where Suzanne must fight alongside her unexpected allies.

The terrifying revelation that follows changes everything: the tack room wasn't merely storage space but a prison, carefully sealed for nearly four decades. As the wounded but victorious horses stand panting in the aftermath, the entity's final whisper—"This isn't over"—promises more horrors to come. The shadows still shift behind the door, waiting. The question that haunts Suzanne now haunts us all: did she buy this farm, or did it choose her? And what other ancient evils might be awakening in the darkness?
