"Rating 4.5
This House Will Feed is a deeply haunted piece of historical gothic fiction. Based in the very real devastation of the Irish Great Famine but with a supernatural twist. Tureaud’s prose is atmospheric and heavy with revenge, deeply felt grie" Read more of this review » |

"Historical horror meets folkloric horror in This House Will Feed. This book hit close to home for me; my ancestors immigrated to the USA from Ireland to escape the Potato Famine, the historical setting for the story. I thought I knew how terrible the"

"T'is a chill-your-bones telling beneath the jagged depths of this one.
Horror comes from the minds of creative writers. Horror also comes from the reality of life in which people have shuttered their eyes against the most abominable sights and events." Read more of this review » |

“A Note from the Author
This book portrays one of the worst tragedies (and some argue, genocide) of the 19th Century—An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger, known simply in America as the Irish Potato Famine). The population of Ireland halved as a result, from an estimated 9 million down to just 4.5 million.
As such, depictions of extreme starvation, desolation, death (including instances of child death), possession, use of slurs made by Anglo colonizers toward the native Irish, cannibalism, suicide, and murder appear on-page. This book includes epigraphs, most documenting eye-witness accounts (from Irish, British, and American observers) and should be read with caution.
As an Irish author, born and raised, the researching and writing of this book dredged up generational trauma that we as a people have not truly dealt with. Therefore I suggest any native Irish readers to approach with a steady heart, and the heady knowledge that our great-great grandparents were forged in steel, and you are the freedom and legacy they dreamt of.”
