The House Beyond the Lanterns

On Halloween night, five college friends enter what they believe is just a haunted house attraction. Inside, they discover endless corridors that bend like veins, lanterns that breathe like lungs, and walls that whisper their names. Each step draws them deeper into a living labyrinth that feeds on fear, stitching their worst nightmares into flesh and fire. Trapped inside the house they face demons sewn from ribs and glass, doubles that kneel in their place, and trials that rip at their sanity.
To survive, they must learn to fight wrong; crooked, broken, and defiant; or be counted among the thousands already swallowed. But victory is not escape. Even after the lanterns go out and the walls collapse, the scars follow them into the world outside. Because some houses do not vanish when destroyed. Some houses linger; waiting for the day their doors will open again.
