    About this ebook

    WARNING: Contains high impact horror and mature themes. Discretion is advised.

    In the darkness beneath the thick canopy of the Orphic Forest, something watches. Inhuman beasts crawl within its clutches, having appeared alongside a mysterious castle.
    Where did they come from? How does one make an entire castle appear overnight? Why has it appeared in paintings that have been long since completed?
    And what, if anything, does the instigator of this strangenes want?
    These are all questions the detective, Temel, seeks to answer as he investigates this castle, drawing ever nearer to ... the Spire.

    Lex Williams

    Lex Williams is a novelettist ( although occasionally writing novellas with the rare novel ) whose intent is to take advantage of self-publishing stories to provide interesting, different and weird ideas that you won't find in traditionally published stories. Williams typically writes for the horror genre ( usually dipping into the surreal variety ), but has explored other areas, such as ( non erotic ) romance and science fiction.
