Murder, Marble, & Mahogany

Techno-Gothic Horror – Supernatural Thriller – Corporate Thriller

At 6:00 P.M., the doors of Blackwood Manor lock themselves.

By midnight, someone inside must sign a forty-two-million-dollar deal—or everyone dies.

Larry Rivera has one night to turn an abandoned Aspen mansion into the luxury property of the year. His reward is $2.4 million and a second chance at the career he nearly destroyed. His price is silence.

But Blackwood Manor is not simply an architectural masterpiece.

Beneath its Carrara marble, Brazilian mahogany, and brutalist concrete lies an occult machine built to feed on fear, greed, and human blood. Its copper veins carry a dead girl's voice. Its walls move. Its doors become obsidian. And the deeper Larry descends, the clearer it becomes that the mansion was never meant to be sold.

It was meant to be activated.

Sandra Ramirez knows the house is haunted. She also knows exactly what happened there twenty years ago—and why her little sister never came home.

Now a ruthless billionaire wants to connect the entity beneath Blackwood Manor to a global financial network, turning supernatural power into a weapon of corporate control. And Larry's blood may be the final key.

Trapped inside a mansion that is slowly becoming alive, Larry and Sandra must uncover the truth before the midnight closing.

Because this is no longer a real estate deal.

It's a sacrifice.

And Blackwood Manor is ready to close.
