The Face of Terror: The Legend of Saintpotden

Arthur Anderson

Casa editrice: BookRix

Sinossi

In the tranquil and enigmatic town of Saintpotden, a dark legacy insinuated itself amidst the shadows of everyday routine. It all began with what seemed like an innocent family heirloom: a porcelain doll, ancient and delicate, found its new home within Friedrich's family.
But as weeks slipped by and clocks marked the passage of time, the dark secrets of this doll chillingly revealed themselves. Its inert face lay as a silent witness to a subtle malevolence slowly emerging.
The first signs of its malevolent power manifested when the doll shifted its position in the dimness of the room, a subtle yet unsettling metamorphosis. The changes were barely perceptible at first, but with time, they became as noticeable as they were disturbing.
A laughter emanating from its sealed lips, increasingly sinister with each repetition, echoed through the corners of the house, suffocating the peace that once reigned in that home. Unexplainable incidents plagued the tranquil family life, hinting at a terror that extended beyond the borders of human understanding.
As the doll unleashed its malevolent influence, nights in Saintpotden were tainted by a series of murders, a dark omen that plunged the town into a cloak of fear and bewilderment.
In this seemingly serene haven, hints of unsettling neighbors emerged. Kurt, Friedrich's enigmatic neighbor, displayed disturbing behaviors, casting suspicions on the connection between his strange conduct and the curse looming over the doll.
The conclusion loomed amidst sacrifice, forging a path to peace at an unfathomable cost. The culmination of this battle against the bewitched doll would unfold, leaving the people of Saintpotden with heavy hearts and a peace obtained at an unimaginable price.

The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she’s caught, she’ll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle.

But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What’s more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she’d destroyed.
As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can’t help but fear she’s escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate…
