WARNING- NOT FOR THE WEAK HEARTS. It will be a short story of 40-50 chapters. The theme is gothic, horror, thriller, and suspense (I'm in a Halloween mood. Enjoy.)

Every hundred years, during a blood-red moon, Blackthorn Manor appears in the dark eerie forest—silent and waiting for its next prey. No one knows where it comes from or why. It vanishes just as quickly, leaving behind whispers of those who once entered... but never returned. No one knows the stories of the vanished.

Its beauty calls for people. It’s prey.

Five strangers, each carrying their secrets and tempted by deep hidden desires, are drawn to the manor by a mysterious invitation at their door step. But as soon as the doors of the manor close behind them, the illusions of grandeur begin to shatter and the trap begins. 

The shadows come alive. Their host, the alluring Vivienne, seems to know far too much about their fears—and even more about what they desire most.

Unknown to them, Blackthorn Manor has never been a place of fulfillment of desires. It’s a trap of ancient curses, ruled by dark magic. Vivienne is no ordinary hostess—she is a blood-sucking succubus, bound by the manor's curse and magic, feeding on the souls of those trapped within its walls. One who enters can never go out.

As their dreams turn to nightmares, and their deepest fears manifest, the group must uncover the manor’s secrets and run from Vivienne before they become her next victims. But the manor has a way of playing tricks on those who try to escape, and the price of freedom may be more than they are willing to pay- their soul. 

Who invited them here—and why? Who will survive Blackthorn Manor's deadly games? 
Think twice before you accept any invite.
