The Rectory Where the Dead Still Listen
A Gothic Tale of Confession, Silence, and the Dead Who RememberBy Isolde Ravenscar
Length50m
About this audiobook
When Father Elias Marr arrives at the isolated coastal parish of Saint Odran’s, he expects little more than a crumbling rectory, a dwindling congregation, and the quiet burden of pastoral duty. Instead, he finds a house that listens, a bell that rings without human hands, and a portrait of a long-dead priest that refuses to remain where it is placed.
As whispers surrounding a vanished servant girl and an illegitimate child rise from the parish’s buried history, Elias uncovers a decades-old silence protected by wealth, fear, and the Church itself. But Saint Odran’s does not merely remember the dead — it preserves the moment truth was denied and waits for someone willing to witness what others buried beneath confession.
A haunting Gothic horror novella steeped in ecclesiastical dread, memory, and moral corruption, The Rectory Where the Dead Still Listen explores the terrifying difference between absolution and accountability — and the cost of becoming righteous in the face of evil.
