Gothic version:
As a fierce blizzard rages, guests gather one by one at a remote Gothic mansion. But on the night they arrive, a scream shatters the silence. Dr. Scanlon witnesses a bizarre murder, and the killer has vanished without a trace.
The urge to kill strikes again, and fate takes a dramatic turn. The so-called "accidents" seem to be nothing more than cogs in a devil's plan. Yet every clue points to the killer being somewhere inside the sealed-off mansion.
The guests grow suspicious of one another, and undercurrents stir.
Hidden in the mansion's darkest corners is a horrifying conspiracy beyond anything they could imagine.
As a second and then a third life are taken, the terrible truth lurking in the mansion gradually comes to light: a serial killer, a lawless monster. And Dr. Scanlon himself seems to be hiding a dark secret.
On this long night of howling winds and snow, the killing will continue. Can the survivors escape the ghosts' clutches and live to see the next day's sunrise?
Literary version:
Never let his gentleness fool you.
His tender hands once stained themselves with my deepest pain. His low, solemn whispers once controlled all my happiness. He gathered up my shattered body and mind, swallowed my madness and sins, then spat out a dagger.
In the end, I offered him roses and my heart in a pool of blood.
"Thoughts flowing like liquid, frozen into statues for eternity,
a white worm writhing and curled up in love."
Theme: Live well.
The case is a bit confusing, but the double death is so good, I agree. 💪
That's it for now, let's eat first
