About this listen

Summer, 1993, and university student Alex Lane finds himself at the end of the summer term, broke and without plans. When offered the chance to join students–including beautiful, mercurial Ella–clearing out Solace House, a Victorian residence left by reclusive hoarder Edwin Flayne, he accepts.

Initially the house seems ordinary, if slightly mad. But sorting through junk, they discover Flayne’s journals detailing his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of strange place Bewise, and his belief in another parallel realm, with coded instructions for reaching it. One of the students becomes increasingly obsessed with the house’s secrets and gaining forbidden knowledge–assuming they’re willing to sacrifice everything and everyone.
