Who are you feeding?

New York, 1899: Working class nobody Jasper is whisked away to a castle in the mountains by his wealthy lover Leo. It's supposed to be a romantic escape, even if Jasper is officially there as a servant. His dreams are quickly dashed as he finds himself worked to the bone and demeaned by Leo's callous, upper-class family. Trapped in the isolated castle, Jasper has no choice but to accept their treatment. But hope comes from an unexpected source: the man in the walls.

Chained in a hidden room, the man won't say who imprisoned him or why. He demands to be kept a secret, and for Jasper to bring him a steady supply of his favorite meal: leeches. Bizarre, but it becomes easier to swallow when the man promises great rewards for Jasper's help: money, power, revenge. Jasper doesn't see anything wrong with taking that deal. He believes his hard times will soon be over—until he's forced to confront the monster he's been feeding.

Leech is a gothic horror of manipulation, sexuality, and class from debut author Gabriel Ryves.
