Dark Veil Society announces the July 19, 2025 release of Having Sam for Dinner, the newest gothic mystery from Corvina Sweeney, acclaimed author of The Coven and Whispers in Still Waters.

Set in the sultry, secretive town of Slaughter, Louisiana, this southern noir unfolds as newcomer Sam seeks solace and a second chance. But what he finds is far more complicated: Ellen, a beautiful and adventurous local woman, whose charm is matched only by the mystery that surrounds her. As their relationship deepens, Sam is pulled into the town’s shadowy past and its tight-knit group of friends—people who guard secrets older than the bayou itself.

Disguised beneath warm hospitality and old rituals is a community bound by something far more sinister than tradition. When people begin to vanish and suspicion settles like humidity on the skin, Sam’s search for peace becomes a fight for survival. And Ellen—so full of light—may be the one holding the darkest truth of all.

A chilling tale of love, trust, and…cannibalism? Having Sam for Dinner is a deliciously delightful read that keeps you guessing with every turn of the page. Horror fans I hope you’re hungry - this is one you won’t want to miss!
~ Moira Ashe, ARC reader

A richly woven tale of trust, desire, and deception, Having Sam for Dinner simmers with atmosphere and dread. With lyrical prose and a relentless undercurrent of danger, Corvina Sweeney crafts a story as intoxicating as the southern heat and as unforgiving as the swamp.

Available July 19, 2025, on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
