The House of Withering Light

By Philip Stengel

When Eleanor Vale inherits the crumbling Rosewood Manor, she expects dust and silence-not whispers behind locked doors or portraits that seem to breathe. Drawn into a legacy of madness and art, Eleanor discovers that her ancestor, a reclusive painter named Augustus Wren, made a pact with a supernatural force known as the Withering Light. His price? The souls of his subjects, trapped forever within his cursed paintings.

As Eleanor uncovers journals, spectral warnings, and a haunting self-portrait that foretells her doom, she must confront the truth: the curse is still alive-and it's looking at her.

Blending classic gothic atmosphere with supernatural dread, The House of Withering Light is a slow-burning, psychological horror tale of ancestral secrets, haunted art, and a woman's fight to escape a legacy written in blood and oil.

Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Rebecca, and The Silent Companions.
