A failed horror writer, Marcus Thorne, inherits a "cursed" estate in a forgotten corner of Alabama. Desperate to revive his career, he decides to use the house as inspiration for his next book, a non-fiction-style account that will feel so authentic, listeners won't be able to tell fact from fiction. He believes the house is his salvation.

He couldn't be more wrong.

The house is a living archive, a predatory consciousness that feeds on human suffering, and its "Weeping Stone" is not a metaphor but a physical, terrifying object on the property. The house has been waiting for a writer, a conduit, and Marcus has walked right into its trap. As the line between his mind and the house's memories dissolves, Marcus realizes he is no longer the author; he's the final subject, the last living heir to a legacy of terror.

The horror isn't in ghosts or curses; it's in the parasitic entity that wants to consume his soul to write its own story. But Marcus refuses to become just another chapter in The Tenebrous Archives. In a terrifying final act, he must turn his greatest weakness—his unique writing skill—into his only weapon. He will either win his freedom or become a new ghost in an old house, his story added to the long, horrifying history of the Weeping Stone.
