Thirsty (The Christiansen Lineage)

When Dr. Susan Andres opens her new dental practice in a historic building nestled in a quiet town, she believes she’s found the perfect place to start over. But the charm of the space hides something far more sinister—an ancient, restless force tethered to the very tools she uses.

Soon, Susan begins to lose time. Strangers with no past and no one to notice their disappearance begin arriving at her door… and never leave. As her reality unravels, she uncovers the building’s chilling legacy—one that pulls her deeper into a cycle of blood, ritual, and possession.

Desperate to stop the horror she’s unwillingly awakened, Susan turns to a secretive local coven who may hold the key to severing the lineage of evil once and for all. But time is running out, and the darkness is growing stronger.

A slow-burning psychological horror laced with occult intrigue, Thirsty explores the terrifying cost of inherited evil—and the desperate fight to reclaim one’s soul.

Doors: The Christiansen Lineage

After years of therapy, Nathan Christiansen has come to terms with the impossible. The memories of banishing an ancient demon? Just a trauma-induced delusion—nothing more. Determined to leave the past behind, he and his wife, Lucy, move with their twin daughters to the quiet woodlands of Sussex County, New Jersey.
But peace is short-lived.

When Lucy and one of the twins, Molly, vanish without a trace, the line between fantasy and reality fractures. They awaken in a strange and perilous world—one inhabited by the lost souls of the demon’s former victims. As Lucy begins to understand the truth Nathan tried to forget, a new nightmare begins to unfold.

To bring their family back together, Nathan and Lucy must navigate a supernatural realm where danger lurks behind every door. With the help of a secretive coven, unexpected allies, and the twins’ unexplainable telepathic bond, they face a terrifying force that refuses to be buried.

Darkly atmospheric and emotionally charged, Doors is a gripping continuation of The Christiansen Lineage—where the battle between reality and the unknown tests the strength of love, legacy, and belief.
