Description: [edit] [history]

Nikha von Kranssov awakens one sunny morning to find that things have gone all wrong: Her maid has been murdered, her father is missing, and her house, Eldergrave Manor, is far larger and less familiar than it should be. She decides to grab her trusty rifle and set out into a home made strange and sinister, determined to find her father and confront whoever is responsible.

The Lay of the Black Doors is a horror/adventure story that takes place in a secondary world. It is mainly inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, China Miéville's Bas-Lag books, M.T. Anderson's The Game of Sunken Places, and Shea and Wilson's The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Be warned that the story involves frightening situations and occasional dark themes, as well as some violence and gore.

On hiatus, but it will return. Soon™.

The cover image is not mine. It is "The Drawbridge," a 1761 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
