Behind every locked door, something is waiting to be remembered.When widowed locksmith Arthur Fenwick is summoned to a decaying country manor after the death of its final owner, he expects a strange but simple job: open thirteen sealed rooms that have remained untouched for decades. The house is enormous, silent, and rotting from within, its corridors heavy with dust, its doors marked by age, grief, and secrets nobody in the nearby village is willing to discuss.At first, Arthur believes the work will be no more than an unpleasant commission. But each lock he opens reveals something more disturbing than the last. A nursery abandoned in fear. A chapel where no prayers seem to have been answered. A flooded cellar that should not still be wet. A bedroom marked by fire. A mirror room that reflects things which are not there. Every room contains a fragment of a disappearance, a death, or a hidden crime, and each discovery draws Arthur deeper into the manor's history.As the house begins to change around him, Arthur realises the locked rooms are not merely preserving the past. They are feeding on it. Footsteps move through empty halls. Doors close by themselves. Voices whisper from rooms he has already opened. The dead do not rest here, and the house itself seems to understand guilt, memory, and punishment.Trapped between the secrets of the manor and the darkness of his own past, Arthur must uncover why the thirteen rooms were sealed, who chose what was hidden inside them, and what will happen when the final lock is opened.The House of Thirteen Locks is a gothic horror novel of haunted rooms, buried crimes, family secrets, and slow-burning supernatural terror. It is a story about grief, obsession, and the dreadful truth that some doors are locked not to keep people out, but to keep something in.
