Four gay men. Four addictions. One landlord from Hell. Welcome to Summerdale, the beginning of a horror novel series set in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.

The landlord of Summerdale House is Mr. McGreevy, a charismatic sociopath who enables addiction and isolates his tenants until the only place they feel safe is inside his house. Throughout the series, Summerdale will focus on issues in the gay community including racism, misogyny, substance abuse, and domestic abuse.
