  We are introduced to Nancy Flanagan, a young Irish Catholic woman who migrates from post-war Ireland to England to train as a nurse. The narrative chronicles her inner turmoil as she struggles with the guilt surrounding her decision to leave her illegitimate child, Maeve, in Ireland. The story unfolds as Nancy navigates life in a new country post-World War II, encountering haunting memories, building friendships, and witnessing tragic moments as she diligently pursues her nursing career. The plot thickens when she becomes deeply involved with a mysterious patient, John, who bears physical and emotional scars from his past, which links him to the horrors of war and a demonic presence that threatens to tear Nancy's life apart. She must fight what pursues her, and traveling to Argentina with a ragtag team, she is unsure what awaits her.   
  The story features paranormal events, and Nancy and John are linked to mythical beings and evil that threaten to destroy them. In the decision to right the wrongs of her past, Nancy unravels mysteries and discovers her latent gifts. Nancy is a relatable heroine wrestling with her past decisions, channelling her guilt into her work and the care of others. John, the enigmatic patient, evokes both sympathy and suspicion as his traumatic stories reveal a multifaceted individual shaped by the tumult of history. Suspense builds throughout the narrative, especially by introducing the supernatural elements represented by the demonic creature Azazel. This presence augments the tension within the plot and symbolises Nancy's internal struggles and the burden of her guilt.   
  This noirish, quickly-paced, and emotionally charged thriller features an intriguing character development that blends effortlessly with a deeply disturbing plotline.

  "The Book" is an unfinished short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in late 1933. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death.In the story fragment, the narrator is given an ancient book by a strange bookseller, and when he takes it home and examines it, weird and sinister events ensue.In October 1933, Lovecraft wrote in a letter:I am at a sort of standstill in writing—disgusted at much of my older work, and uncertain as to avenues of improvement. In recent weeks I have done a tremendous amount of experimenting with different styles and perspectives, but have destroyed most of the results.[2]The H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia suggests that "The Book" was one of the undestroyed experiments—an attempt to translate Lovecraft's poem sequence Fungi from Yuggoth into prose. (The completed fragment corresponds to the first three sonnets, which form more of a coherent narrative than the rest of the sequence).

  One mansion’s foundation creaks with the weight of its secrets.  
  Marcus, a convicted felon, serves out his sentence, dreaming of his life before his days were spent eating slop and narrowly avoiding being shanked in the shower.  
  Release day comes, and it’s not as sweet as he thought it would be. 
  Abandoned. 
  Broke. 
  Entirely alone. 
  Maybe he was better off in prison… 
  But opportunities for felons are few and far between and the famous Belford Manor needs a caretaker. Where others may see a spooky, crumbling estate, Marcus envisions a future for himself, where he can heal and move on. But everything isn’t what it seems, and questions about the house quickly become impossible to ignore. 
  Now, Marcus is entangled in a mystery older than the dirt the house is built on. Its walls pulse with a fetid horror that makes the lonely felon wish for his cell. The manor wants more than Marcus’s attention. It may very well want his soul too.
