When your greatest fear is leaving, what happens when evil arrives?
John Evans has meticulously crafted the perfect sanctuary. Living by his own stringent "Recluse Rules," his Cardiff flat is a fortress against the overwhelming outside world. Online work, curated comforts, and absolute control define his days. But his carefully built haven is about to become his worst nightmare.
When John unwittingly brings a cursed Nicobarese artifact into his home, he unleashes something ancient and malevolent. With his world shrinking to the confines of his flat, John must confront the terrifying truth: is he truly being haunted, or is his isolation finally pushing him into a psychological abyss? And when a chaotic family member arrives, unknowingly possessed by the very entity John fights, the stage is set for a brutal showdown that will force him to choose: abandon his sanctuary and shatter his identity, or face absolute destruction.
"The Recluse Rules" is a gripping psychological horror that explores the chilling consequences of isolation, the insidious nature of fear, and the fine line between personal sanctuary and inescapable prison. Perfect for readers who crave intelligent, character-driven horror that lingers long after the last page.
