House Infernal
A gothic novel about a house built by Satan that traps angels and nuns in blood-soaked horror.
This work examines the corruption of sacred spaces through the lens of Venetia Barlow’s experience at St. John's Prior House. The narrative structure interlaces her personal haunting with broader cosmic horrors involving imprisoned angels and violated nuns. Lee uses the setting to explore themes of religious perversion and supernatural intrusion. The text does not offer redemption but rather descends into a blood-drenched reality where the boundary between holy ground and hellish territory dissolves.
Published by Macabre Ink in 2023, this book fits within the modern horror genre. It draws on gothic fiction traditions and supernatural themes. The narrative engages with religious iconography, specifically Christian elements like nuns, angels, and priests, twisting them into sources of terror rather than comfort for the reader.
