A Tale from The Story Parlour

Survivor – Part 1 | The House on the Corner

Julie was sixteen the summer she first stepped inside the house on the corner.

It was a hot London evening, the kind where the air clings to the streets and the city feels restless long after sunset. On her quiet road, the houses stood shoulder to shoulder… except one. The corner house always seemed different. Not larger, not grander. Just somehow wrong.

When Julie is invited inside by the charming Sandra and her quiet husband Bill, what begins as an innocent visit slowly turns unsettling. Strange sounds echo from the attic above. Questions linger in the air. And the house itself seems to be watching.

That night, Julie notices a light burning in the attic window long after everyone should be asleep.

By the next day, a girl from nearby has disappeared.

And Julie begins to understand that the house on the corner is not just strange.

It is hungry.

Survivor – Part 1 is the opening chapter of a four-part story of secrets, manipulation, and the terrifying realisation that some dangers hide behind the most ordinary doors.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy dark storytelling, creeping suspense, and mysteries that slowly reveal their truth.
