   Summary

   Every child in the surrounding villages knows the story of the monster and the manor. They weave tales of a terrifying creature that lurks in the old manor atop the hill a few towns over. It’s said that every one hundred years he seeks a new bride to devour body, mind, and soul. Stories, however fantastical, are always based on a simpler, inconvenient truth.

   The truth is: time is up, he now seeks a new bride.
