A Parish Darker: A Victorian Suspense Novella

By Rhys Ermire

The year is 1891. A routine excursion onto the European continent at first appears an ideal opportunity for Edwin Ramsett--a gentle-mannered Londoner still naïve of that most acute malevolence that so permeates the darkest corners of human existence. He soon encounters wickedness so foreign and so destructive that his psyche is forever altered. It is only now, twenty years on, that his hand is forced to at last recount that harrowing incident in full.

This diary serves as the sole record of all that transpired that fateful evening in the Austrian wilderness.
