Faulkner's Folly

In the spacious elegance of a Georgian‑style mansion, Beatrice Faulkner finds herself a guest once again in the home she once ruled. The house, built as a dream of comfort and dignity, now serves as the backdrop for a portrait commissioned by her artist friend, Eric Stannard. As Beatrice glides down the sweeping staircase, she is drawn into the quiet rhythm of an old world that still bears the imprint of her late husband’s ambition.

A sudden darkness in the studio and a startled footman breaking his usual composure hint at something unsettled within the grand rooms. An eerie, gurgling cry echoes through the hall, and the lights flicker back to life, revealing a scene that leaves Beatrice both horrified and fascinated. The mystery of the strange sound and the footman’s frantic behavior promises a deeper secret hidden within the house’s ornate walls, inviting listeners to uncover what lies beyond the polished façade.
