The House in the Briars

The House in the Briars

Deep in the countryside stands a forgotten house—its walls veiled in thorns, its windows whispering secrets of those who once lived and died within. When a quiet traveler arrives seeking shelter from an approaching storm, he finds more than refuge. The house remembers. Each room tells a story—of regret, temptation, and the cost of forsaken grace. What begins as a night of safety becomes a descent into something far older and holier than he could have imagined. The House in the Briars is a modern gothic parable—a haunting exploration of conscience, memory, and redemption. Through poetic prose and chilling atmosphere, Chris Gambrell weaves a tale where the supernatural and the sacred meet in unsettling harmony. For readers who love the quiet dread of The Book of the Dun Cow or the allegorical depth of The Pilgrim’s Regress , this story lingers long after the last page, asking: When the house remembers your sins, will it let you leave?
