Emily Coldwater was two years old when her mother disappeared. Now, ten years later, her dormant psychic powers have become active. The gabulous estate that her family constructed and has maintained for generations was built using blood money. The mansion, Emily learns, is not only alive, but it also has fed on the negative emotions of her ancestors, fattening on murder, greed, lust, and many other negative emotions.
