The Eden House is a collaborative musical project, initiated by Stephen Carey (formerly of This Burning Effigy and currently with Adoration) and involving a collection of guest musicians and vocalists; later joined by Tony Pettitt (formerly of Fields of the Nephilim and Rubicon). Goth "supergroup" Includes contributions from Simon Rippin, Andy Jackson, Bob Loveday, Amandine Ferrari, Evi Vine, Monica Richards, Julianne Regan, Barbar Luck, Nod Wright, Peter Yates, Paul Wright, Candia, Stevyn Grey, Dave Blomberg, Yig Hughes and Peter Gorritz.
Their debut album Smoke & Mirrors was released in April 2009 in the United States and Europe, and May in the United Kingdom. Vocals were provided by Monica Richards (of Faith and the Muse), Evi Vine, Amandine Ferrari and All About Eve's Julianne Regan.

The band's second offering, The Looking Glass, was released on 1 February 2010, with vocalist Tallulah Rendall added to the collaboration. Pink Floyd's Grammy-nominated sound engineer Andy Jackson, who mastered the first album and had previously worked with Fields of the Nephilim, also joined the line-up on guitar. The Looking Glass is a two-disc set, comprising a DVD recording of nine songs performed live and a CD of cover versions.
