## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A frozen Russian winter. The inn’s sign creaks in the wind as bone drops to the floor.

Bottles smash when hands refuse Rasputin’s touch. Pale ladies slide gloves off on palace stairs.

Color drained from Hammer horrors, but the blade still gleams.

**Mood tags**: dread, raw
