The Country House

Alexis Saints

"He had returned to the country house for a reason, which meant he had to face the scary possibility of being right."


To walk back into one's childhood home is always a strange feeling, and Connor is starting to find out: where everything is covered by the thick glaze of honeyed memories, past and present get intertwined. Through flashbacks, time skips, and a mixture of truth and suggestions, Connor will have to learn to discern between what's real and the fears that live in his head to uncover a mystery buried between his swaying memories – sided with the mysteries Karim, who seems to only talk in riddles and monsters.


And the summer in the country house has never been less tender.
