Josephine Grimwald is much like many modern teens, struggling to find a place to belong in the world. However, unlike many teens, she exists as the result of rape, and her mother unfortunately dies in a freak accident. Josephine's quite life is uprooted and she's thrust into the hands of the vile man who violated her mother because there simply is no place else for her to turn.

The Plain Black Door is a modern Gothic horror story with classic twists. Included in this chilling novella the reader can find poems, graphics, and a story of disenfranchised youth and the maddening results of lacking a place in the world to fit in. Enter the dark world of a London private school and follow Josephine on her descent to the depths of hell.
