After fleeing from an abusive relationship of five years, Fern Alvarez enters the small town of Thorn Creek, Massachusetts, with nothing more than two suitcases, an old blue car they were gifted by their parents, and just enough money for the first month’s rent for a small cottage just outside of the town proper. Although still scarred and deeply anxious from everything they endured while dating their ex-girlfriend, Fern wants nothing more than to make a fresh start in Thorn Creek, to do the job they’ve secured at the local bakery and remain unobtrusive and unconnected enough that the woman they’ve fled will never find them again.

But, as their kind yet mysterious landlady warns, Fern is not the only person with a cabin in Thorn Creek’s woods - not far away from Fern’s Bluebell Cottage sits the larger, darker Blackthorn Cottage, where live a kind if odd couple and their socially anxious younger roommate. As time goes by, Fern does find themself getting closer to Will and Hannibal Graham-Lecter and their pseudo-adopted-daughter Carrie White… but it also doesn’t take long for them to discover that these three are not the only ones in the home. Blackthorn Cottage is home to a variety of killers, sharing this home while hiding from the law and occasionally sneaking out to satisfy their urges by killing lowlives in neighboring towns.

A cannibalistic former psychologist and his dog-loving husband. A religiously traumatized young woman with strong and potentially deadly telekinesis. Two killing partners, bonded by their love of classic horror movies. Two other cannibals, these ones related, masked, and chainsaw-wielding. A silent boogeyman who never seems to be seen without a knife in his hand. A perpetually nervous former motel manager with the voice of his deceased mother in his head. An undead killer in a hockey mask who cannot speak and loves nature. A spirit with a hook for a hand who has his own swarm of bees and can disappear through mirrors. All of them trusting Fern to keep the secret of what really goes on in the house they all share, and in possibly their most foolish decision, Fern does, visiting the cottage full of killers often and never telling anyone on the outside this heavy truth. (Although they strongly suspect their landlady Ms. Caraway is fully aware, because it doesn’t seem to Fern that anything could quite escape that sweet woman’s eye.)

The more time Fern spends at Blackthorn Cottage, the closer they find themself growing to the many killers within - all of which actually seem to be much kinder than their actions would lead one to believe. But after all they’ve been through, they aren’t quite sure whether they are prepared to enter into new a relationship with even one person… much less eleven of them.

However, no matter how much they try to keep themself from it, Fern finds themself falling deeper and deeper into their feelings for every one of the killers in Blackthorn Cottage. And despite everything, despite how much Fern has convinced themself they are too damaged to be properly loved again, all of these people with blood-soaked hearts and hands seem to feel the same way about this traumatized little baker who has found safety in the last possible place they would have ver expected to find it.
