The Devil's Inheritance by Roger Lowe

Some inheritances come with land, money, or a family name.

Others come with a debt.

On his seventieth birthday, a man finds himself drawn back toward the shadows of his family's past—a past marked by whispered warnings, an abandoned shack, and a secret that has waited generations to be claimed.

At the heart of that secret lies an old agreement, written on parchment and bound by something far more dangerous than law. Long ago, a desperate bargain was made. The price bought time, prosperity, and protection for one generation, but the debt was never truly paid.

It was inherited.

As September closes in and the truth begins to surface, the boundary between family history and supernatural terror disappears. What once seemed like old stories and childhood fears becomes frighteningly real, and a father is forced to confront an impossible choice.

Because the contract is still waiting.

And the Devil has not forgotten what he is owed.

The Devil's Inheritance is a dark tale of family secrets, inherited guilt, and a bargain that refuses to die—a supernatural horror story about what happens when one generation's salvation becomes the next generation's curse.
