Every haunted-house story has a moment when leaving starts to sound like a very good idea.

Unfortunately, recognizing danger and escaping it are not always the same thing.

Ryan’s messages continue in Part 7 of Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage, an immersive supernatural horror serial about a man alone in an old mansion as ordinary explanations begin competing with much darker possibilities.

Gothic horror, psychological dread, occult mystery and experimental sound design collide in a story told entirely through recorded messages.

Start with Part 1.
