In this novella, grief doesn't seem so normal. After the death of his grandfather, Nico inherits the family's sprawling Victorian manor, a place he once thought he knew. But the house is not as quiet -- or as empty -- as he remembers. Shadows linger where they shouldn't, voices whisper through locked doors, and the line between memory and madness begins to blur. Grief doesn't always heal. Sometimes, it awakens something far more older and far more dangerous.All Rights Reserved
