Our Lady of the Flayed: Eldritch Horrors Among Us by J.P. Bavelli

When Luke returns to his estranged family’s crumbling estate after his father’s shocking suicide, he expects to confront a painful legacy of family secrets and grief. But the house is shrouded in more than just fog—and Luke quickly realizes it may not be as empty as he thought.

As eerie tolls of unseen bells echo through the house and his mother’s long-lost presence stirs in the shadows, Luke descends into an abyss of terror beneath the estate. What secrets hide in the cursed red books his father kept in his study? What stirs in this cathedral of horror his ancestors named “Our Lady of the Flayed”?

Trapped between his father’s lies and the watchful presence of otherworldly evil, Luke must make an impossible choice: embrace his family’s duty or risk unleashing an unspeakable nightmare upon the world. The line between his salvation and damnation is as thin as the skin flayed from the living.
