A modern Gothic novel about a man haunted by grief and possible ghosts in Michigan.
Ben travels to Northern Michigan after losing his fiancée. He stays alone in a cabin and claims evil buildings do not exist. This statement invites trouble. The story tracks his descent into a nightmare where he questions his own sanity. A family history of mental illness complicates the situation. Ben cannot determine if ghosts are real or if they are projections of his mind. The narrative style mirrors the literary Gothic works of Jackson, Bierce, and Tryon. It shares thematic DNA with The Shining regarding reality distortion. The tone resembles the devastation of Hereditary and Paul Tremblay's ambiguous storytelling. Taylor uses this framework to create a terrifying slow-burn experience. The plot offers numerous twists that keep the reader guessing about the source of the horror.
This novel sits within the modern Gothic horror tradition, blending literary influences from Shirley Jackson, Ambrose Bierce, and Thomas Tryon with contemporary psychological tension similar to The Shining. It aligns with socially progressive ambiguous storytelling found in Paul Tremblay's work and the visceral impact of Hereditary.
