About this audiobook
Behind the tide-choked causeway of Saint Orren’s Abbey, every door opens the wrong way — and some open only for the grieving.
After the sudden death of her husband, architectural surveyor Eleanor Vale travels to the ruined abbey where he spent his final days, determined to recover his missing notes and uncover what truly happened there. But the deeper she explores the crumbling halls, the more the abbey resists reason itself. Doors obey no hinge. Portraits watch the thresholds. Voices echo from rooms that should not exist.
As Eleanor uncovers records of women erased behind hidden chambers and discovers a terrifying link between her own family and the abbey’s past, Saint Orren’s begins calling to her in the voice she most longs to hear.
The Abbey Where Doors Open the Wrong Way is a slow-burning Gothic horror tale of grief, obsession, and haunted architecture — steeped in candlelit dread, rain-soaked stone, and the terrible cost of opening the wrong door.
Isolde Ravenscar crafts haunting tales steeped in shadow, memory, and the quiet dread that lingers long after the final word. Drawing on a lifelong fascination with Gothic literature and the eerie beauty of forgotten places, her stories explore isolation, obsession, and the fragile line between the living and the lost. When not writing, she wanders mist-laced landscapes and crumbling architecture in search of inspiration for her next unsettling tale.View all by Isolde Ravenscar
