The Stain

Ruschelle Dillon

Sinossi

Born of bloodshed, a prolific stain, fed by the sins of earliest man....The Simmons moved into 228 Briar Street. With two growing children needing a stable routine and a house to call home, Marc and Claire settled into the old red brick, unaware of the neighborhood's dirty little secret. In the dark and unfamiliar depths of the basement it lurks. It desires to manipulate the family into destructive chaos as it has countless times past and as far back as there were settlers in this plot of land, feed upon both flesh and the ecstasy of its dark influence. And not just in this house. It is old, mischievous, and inherently evil. It is...THE STAIN. Ruschelle Dillon's brand of humor has been incorporated in a wide variety of projects, including the popular and bizarre novelette "Bone-sai," and this work reflects upon her talent this time in a dark and disturbing way, a tale of ancient evil resurrected in modern-day urban setting that only Ms. Dillon can tell, enough to satisfy any avid horror fan and will haunt you long after taking it all in from beginning to end.
