A sample from the Introduction:

“Welcome to Midnight Manor, and thank you all for accepting your invitations, despite the terrible history that this place holds. Midnight Springs is a quaint town, located off the beaten path. It is filled with tradition and proud locals who have been residing here for longer than anyone cares to remember.

On the outskirts of town sits a manor that had been long forgotten. Its windows had been broken. Its wood rotted long ago. It’s rested as a spot for troublesome teenagers to drag their friends and recount the terrible tragedies that happened here 20 years ago, the tragedies of the Midnight Springs Massacre.

Legend has it that this land, and all who step foot on it, are cursed. It sat desolate and uninhabited for years before our mysterious stranger, Viktor Gastin, decided to relocate to this small town and repair the house to its former glory. Viktor hopes that he can prove the legends wrong, he hopes that he can put a rest to all of the ghost stories. But that, of course, is not how this evening will end.

With that being said… at the end of the night, three of you will be dead.”
