  Vincent O'Sullivan was born on the 28th November 1868 in New York City.  He was initially educated through the New York public school system before finishing his studies in England.  As a young man he remained in London and travelled often to Paris.  
  O’Sullivan lived a very comfortable life with income from the family coffee business.  He had no real need to work but decided that a literary lifestyle was for him.   
  In 1896 he released his first volume of supernatural fiction ‘A Book of Bargains’.  Within its pages were classic stories that involved pacts with the Devil, reanimated corpses and psychic vampires. 
  Over the course of his career, he wrote a mere 10 volumes of short stories, novels, poetry together with some occasional criticism. 
  In 1909 his brother, who ran the company, entered its resources into some terribly mis-timed trades in coffee futures and ruin for both the company and the family quickly followed. 
  From now until his death O’Sullivan was destitute, life was exceedingly difficult. 
  Vincent O’Sullivan died on the 18th July 1940 in Paris.  He was 71.  He was buried in a paupers grave along with the remains of others.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  “They say art imitates life. 
  But here, art demands the sacrifice of life. 
  The students bleed, 
  and we— 
  we applaud their devotion.” 
  —From the diary of Madame E. 
  Some places remember pain; 
  Not as memory, but as hunger. 
  Not in the way we humans remember, with trauma, 
  but deeper—like a house that groans for what once happened within its wall. 
  There is a ballet academy hidden in the folds of the Carpathians, carved into the woods like a secret no one dares to speak aloud. It welcomes young women dancers from across Europe-those who dream of perfection, of ovations, of fame. 
  But perfection demands sacrifice. And some sacrifices never end. 
  Elisa, our protagonist, arrives at the reclusive ballet academy, 
  tucked away in a forgotten corner of Europe, 
  a place steeped in rigid tradition and unyielding discipline. 
  But it doesn’t take long before the unease begins to seep in. 
  The mirrors do not reflect as they should— 
  Some bleed. 
  The students move with eerie precision, 
  like marionettes whose strings are pulled from somewhere unseen. 
  And then, 
  one by one, 
  they begin to disappear. 
  Inspired by classic European horror films, this chilling and suspenseful tale follows the protagonist, Elisa, as she enrolls in a secluded ballet school located in a remote corner of Europe. There, she begins to experience strange occurrences and gradually uncovers the dark secrets hidden within the school’s elegant façade.
