The Twelve Nights Beneath the House
Deep in the frost-bitten mountains of Greece, Eleni’s ancestral home stands as a fortress of cold stone and inherited secrets. Following the death of her grandmother, you have accompanied her to this isolated village to reconnect with her roots before the birth of her first child. But as the winter mist settles and the Twelve Days of Christmas begin, the quiet retreat curdles into an atmosphere of suffocating dread.
In Agios Nikolaos, the villagers shutter their windows early and speak in hushed, cryptic warnings. Inside the house, the boundary between the domestic and the monstrous begins to fray. The smell of wet ash fills the rooms, and something skitters just beyond the light of the hearth. You are all that stands between Eleni and a hunger that has waited centuries to reclaim what lies beneath her ribs.
