Counttoten Histoires

The House with the Stained Glass Door is a brutal, atmospheric horror-thriller about six students who rent an old boarding house and discover survival is a game with rules that cut like glass: close your eyes, count to ten, don't breathe, don't open them, pray. Marla-the last to arrive and the only one drawn to the forbidden room-finds a perfect miniature of the house waiting inside, its tiny doors opening in tandem with doors that should never move. As mirrors learn hunger, floorboards unzip like throats, and laughter slithers through the walls, the house reveals an inherited appetite-one taught by cruelty and perfected by time. One by one, the game takes them in grotesque, intimate ways, until Marla, a Black heroine who refuses to be anyone's prey, fights back with ritual, grit, and the ugliest kind of hope. For readers who crave handcrafted dread, visceral body horror, and hauntings that linger like bruises, The House with the Stained Glass Door promises a scream you'll feel in your bones-and a silence that's worse. ©️ Relle H

What made Eloise Willian's story so unlike many others is hidden behind memories not even Eloise can reach. With dead parents from such a young age, there's not much to reach for. No photos, no sign of them ever existing. She wanted to be reminded of their existence. She was tired of making them up in her mind. Although there was not much else to do as a young child in an orphanage trapped within grey walls under an even greyer sky. Her adoption led to her attending Hogwarts, as well as what they now call the Golden Quartet. While searching for answers surrounding her parents she finds love.

In the fifth grade, people didn't know Sophia Anderson's name. She was known as the-girl-who-chewed-on-her-hair. In eighth grade, people knew Sophia Anderson as the girl who was dating Steve Rodrigues; he was tall and already had a mustache. In high school, however, people knew Sophia Anderson because of her brother. Not because he owned a cool car and was head of the football team, but because he owned a gun and knew how to pull the trigger.
