## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The old house creaks in winter’s long dusk, a rocking chair rocking empty. Joel finds the walls smeared with something wet, his son whispering in a voice not his own. Father Lambert arrives with a stolen host and a list of the dead. The crucifix burns before it falls.

A New French Extremity descendant mines the uncanny.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, surreal
