The Hollow of Saint Ermine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798287829025)

The Hollow of Saint Ermine is a gothic horror novel that weaves a chilling tale of memory, erasure, and the haunting power of the forgotten. Set in the Victorian era, the story follows Professor Nathaniel Greaves and his assistant Clara Whitlow as they arrive in the isolated village of Saint Ermine, drawn by whispers of ancient secrets and a ruined monastery buried in fog.

What begins as an academic investigation quickly unravels into a descent through layers of reality, memory, and nightmare. The villagers harbor a centuries-old fear of "The Hollow"-an unspeakable force that feeds on silence, rewriting the very fabric of identity and history. As Nathaniel and Clara uncover cryptic ledgers, forbidden sigils, and relics that bleed, they find themselves hunted not by monsters, but by the terrifying possibility of being erased-not just from the world, but from memory itself.

The deeper they dig, the more the boundary between past and present blurs, and the village itself seems to turn against them. When names vanish from photographs, reflections disappear, and reality fractures, Nathaniel and Clara must confront the true cost of remembrance-and decide if some stories are safer left untold.

Viktoryia Konan's atmospheric prose conjures a world both beautiful and unsettling, where dread grows quietly until it is inescapable. Perfect for fans of The Silent Companions, The Ritual, and The Fisherman, The Hollow of Saint Ermine lingers long after the final page, asking: what would you sacrifice to be remembered?
