This is the Limited - Nightmare Realm Artwork Edition.

Lovecraftian horror meets early Stephen King, meets the stunning mind of Shirley Jackson, an immensely talented writer with a vivid, macabre imagination. Ryan Holden brings this gothic horror noir, featuring magical and fantastical themes, in the first book of The Maplewood Horrors. Perfect for readers of Stephen King's IT or Pet Cemetery. Paul Tremblay, Clive Barker, and The Haunting of Hill House — The Darkness of Thorne House is a brutal yet lyrical horror novel about inherited trauma, possessed memory, and the price of burying witches rather than listening to them. — a chilling saga of witchcraft, legacy, and the shadows that never die.

A house that breathes. A town built on secrets. A curse that never died. Maplewood has always whispered. In 1990, Joseph Thinkle was the first to hear it. He was a lonely old man who vanished into the woods, possessed by something ancient and wrong. By morning, the town had turned on its witches. Blood soaked the snow. And a forbidden ritual bound a living grimoire beneath Thorne House—a place with too many windows and a hunger for grief. Thirty years later, it's waking up again.

Emily Rickman returns to Maplewood with no memory of her childhood, no clue of the power she once buried. Her teenage twins, Nicholas and Jenny, are changing—haunted by voices, drawn to the house, caught in the early stages of their frightening and mystifying transformation. Ascension. The past isn't finished. And Thorne House is hungry.

As the veil between timelines collapses, a curse forged in fear and flame returns to finish what it started. Children vanish. Old magic stirs. And the blood-soaked truth of what happened in 1990 threatens to destroy a new generation. You can kill the witches. You can burn the books. But you can't silence the house.
