Sinopse

The House of the Seven Gables is a Gothic novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published in 1851. The novel is set in a gloomy New England mansion with a mysterious and dark past. It explores themes of guilt, retribution, and atonement, intertwined with a family curse that haunts the Pyncheon family.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) was an American novelist and short story writer, best known for his works that explore themes of sin, guilt, and morality, often set against the backdrop of Puritan New England. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, his early experiences in this historically rich and often dark town greatly influenced his writing, especially its focus on ancestral guilt and the moral complexity of human nature.

    Some places never forget. Some memories never die. 
    A mirror that delays your reflection—and eats your name. 
    An orchard that grows mouths and speaks in stolen voices. 
    A salt-soaked house that feeds on silence and unburied grief. 
    In The Nameless Inheritance, three unsettling tales blur the line between memory and monstrosity. An archivist uncovers a brother who never existed. A grieving woman becomes the vessel for a forest of lost tongues. A daughter returns home to a house that remembers more than it should. 
    Told with lyrical dread and psychological precision, this horror collection invites readers into haunted spaces where identity erodes, silence festers, and memory becomes a living, hungry thing. 
    What happens when forgetting is no longer an option—and remembering is a curse?
