About the Author
Ezra Nightfall
Ezra Nightfall writes gothic psychological horror about houses, systems, inheritance, institutions, and the people trapped inside things built to protect them.
His stories explore family secrets, institutional power, artificial memory, and the quiet terror of being managed by something that believes it knows what is best.
