Dr. Richard Cardin's is called to a remote estate to bear witness to a groundbreaking scientific discovery. But when he spies a bewitching young woman from his window, the purpose of his visit becomes secondary to the mysteries confronting him. Who is she? Why does she roam the lonely grounds at night? and why does his host claim to know nothing about her? As Dr. Cardin searches the mansion's dark hallways and wild, moonlit gardens for the woman and for answers, he begins to question if she's real at all. Might she be a specter from the house's past? Or is she a manifestation of his own troubled mind? Or perhaps the answer is more sinister than he could ever suspect? The Eternal Guest: A Novella of Gothic Horror
