Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, Lynewood Hall stands as a monument to the grandeur and tragedy of America's Gilded Age. Once the opulent home of the Widener family-one of the wealthiest families in the country-the mansion now lies in eerie silence, a shadow of its former glory.

This 15-chapter historical mystery novel follows architect Edward Beaumont, who is drawn into the web of intrigue and dark secrets that have haunted the mansion since its creation. As he oversees its construction and later becomes involved in its preservation, Edward uncovers a tragic past filled with unsolved deaths, ghostly apparitions, and a curse that seems to doom anyone connected to the estate.

From the glittering galas in the grand ballroom to the spectral figures that haunt its halls after the Titanic disaster, Lynewood Hall: The Forgotten Mansion explores the thin line between opulence and ruin. As Edward delves deeper into the mansion's hidden chambers and secret histories, he must confront both the ghosts of the past and the demons within himself.

A tale of ambition, loss, and the supernatural, this atmospheric novel paints a haunting portrait of a forgotten era and the legacy of a family cursed by its own success. Perfect for fans of historical fiction with a twist of gothic mystery, Lynewood Hall: The Forgotten Mansion will captivate readers from the first to the final page.

Cover by @AdlerBourbon This story is about a dystopian social experiment devised by a disturbed professor. The town of Delphnea, a seemingly medieval village, is in fact an elaborate, controlled environment designed to simulate life in a bygone era. The professor has isolated the town from the modern world by erecting an invisible barrier, ensuring that none of the inhabitants can escape. His goal is to study how people behave when stripped of modern comforts and technology, reverting to primitive instincts and medieval societal structures. All of Delphnea's residents, including Carter and his father, are unaware that they are part of this grand experiment. They believe their lives are authentic and that they are living in a true medieval society. However, behind the scenes, the professor manipulates their environment-planting false information, monitoring their every move with hidden technology, and occasionally sending in outsiders like workers or agents to fix or alter parts of the experiment. The experiment is carefully crafted to test human behavior under duress, but over time, cracks begin to show. Modern elements occasionally slip through-like advanced technology, strange devices, and inconsistencies in the town's medieval setting-leading Carter and others to question their reality. As Carter and his friends uncover the truth, they realize they are pawns in a much larger game, a twisted psychological study where escape seems impossible and the professor watches every move from his hidden control room. In a world ruled by lies, the truth is deadly
