Death In The Dusk

Virgil Markham — in “Death in the Dusk” — invites you into a chilling world where the ancient past refuses to remain buried, and every echo in a decaying mansion might conceal a dark secret. The story begins innocently enough: an antiquarian named Alfred Bannerlee finds shelter during a journey in an old Welsh manor just as a mysterious wedding‑celebration is under way. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

But as night deepens, the manor’s legend — that of Parson Lolly, a spectral figure said to haunt its corridors — starts to stir with terrifying reality. What was meant to be a social gathering becomes a gothic nightmare: strange cries echo through the halls, one guest vanishes without explanation, and a sense of dread takes hold.

Through Bannerlee’s own diary entries — full of mounting unease, fear, and suspense — you don’t just witness the events: you live them. The flicker of candlelight, the rustle of unseen footsteps in dark corridors, the thunder of a storm outside — each subtle detail draws you deeper into a mystery where the line between logical murder mystery and supernatural horror blurs dangerously.

If you’re drawn to tales where lineage and legacy clash with hidden sins; where old mansions hold memories darker than time; where every whisper may hide betrayal; “Death in the Dusk” promises more than a mere detective story — it promises a descent into haunted memory, fear and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Reading (or listening) to it is to walk the corridors of dread, where silence itself may be the loudest scream.
