Lenore — Volume One: The Surrender Triptych

The first volume of A. R. Hollow's gothic horror saga gathers three interwoven tales bound by grief and the refusal to let go. In the candlelit ruins of a cathedral, a mourner makes a bargain he cannot take back; in a library where the books whisper, a scholar courts a presence that should not answer; and across all three stories, the name Lenore echoes like a wound that will not close. Steeped in the shadowed tradition of Poe, The Surrender Triptych is a slow descent into obsession and loss, where every act of yielding to the dark draws the living deeper in. Lush, haunting, and quietly terrifying—the opening movement of a mythology built on mourning.
