THE HOUSE OF SHADOWS
For Laura and Marco, the old house in the country isn't a choice. It's the only way out.
A new beginning, far from the debts strangling them and the silence that has poisoned their marriage. A sprawling place for a price so low it feels like a miracle. But this miracle smells of turned earth and rotten meat, and its foundations are hungry. From the moment they arrive, the house begins to whisper, calling their children by name. Soon, the whispers turn to screams. An entity with a smile that rips reality at the seams begins to torment them, first psychologically, then physically.
It's not just haunted. It's alive. It's an ancient predator that feeds on fear and pain.
Jett Vorn doesn't write to soothe. He writes to shatter. The House of Shadows is visceral horror in the truest sense of the term: it's engineered to hit the gut as hard as the mind. This is not a ghost story for a quiet night; it is an experience in extreme horror that deliberately pushes the genre's boundaries. A narrative designed to be graphic, psychologically devastating, and utterly hopeless.
Here, the house is not a setting. It's a malevolent entity that relishes the slow, brutal disintegration of its prisoners. There are no easy ways out, only a relentless descent into a nightmare that will leave you with a profound and lasting sense of dread.
WARNING: WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?
If you prefer subtler, more suggestive horror, you may find this novel excessive. The graphic nature of the violence and the uncompromising descent into total damnation can be deeply disturbing for sensitive readers.
If you are a lover of extreme, visceral horror, if you appreciate narratives that are not afraid to explore the darkest and most brutal aspects of terror, then you have found your next obsession. A gripping and powerful read that keeps its promise of terror until the last, suffocating page.
They thought they'd found a sanctuary. Instead, they just opened the door to their own tomb.
