Some houses should remain sealed.
Some windows should never be opened.
Some wells should stay forgotten.
When three teenagers dare each other into the abandoned Saint Orison's House of Mercy, they expect dust, broken glass, and a story to frighten one another with.
What they find instead is a window that should not reflect the living, a dry well that should not whisper, and a dead nun watching from the dark.
At first, it feels like a dare gone wrong.
Then the haunting follows them home.
As whispers become apparitions, possession, and bloodshed, the teenagers and their families are dragged into a hidden history of religious secrecy, stolen children, buried women, and a crime the town has spent decades pretending never happened.
But the dead are not simply asking to be remembered.
Something older waits beneath the house. Something patient. Something that knows the difference between grief and vengeance, and knows how easily one can become the other.
To survive, the living must uncover what really happened inside Saint Orison's before the evil in the window, the well, and the grave claims them all.
The Window and The Well is a disturbing adult paranormal horror novel of possession, ghosts, institutional guilt, buried sins, and the dead who refuse to stay silent.
For readers who enjoy haunted houses, cursed places, religious horror, possession stories, psychological dread, and supernatural mysteries that creep under the skin.
