A young student accepts an offer from a mysterious University deep in the woods. He discovers the University is filled with strange and startling discoveries. And it's all run by a headmaster who seems intent on making his life a living hell...
This is written in a style similar to many horror authors in the late 19th/early 20th century. I was heavily inspired by Edgar Allen Poe, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Shelley and the like. Don't take it too seriously... It's mostly intended as hyperbole.

I've grown really attached to the plot, but at my current writing skill, I don't think I could've properly gotten the point across in the time I was given. I'm publishing it here both to share it with my friends and to hopefully find proofreaders! I would really appreciate it if you could leave suggestions in the comments as they occur, or dm me for longer explanations! I'd also love to have people to help with the outlining in general, so dm me if you want to see the outline so you can critique that as well!Complete
