A chilling standalone Christmas ghost story
A blizzard. A remote mansion. And spirits that wake when night falls.
Ryan’s final delivery before Christmas takes a terrifying turn when a Highland blizzard forces him off the road. Stranded and desperate for shelter, he returns to Ashcraig Grange — a remote mansion with a single inhabitant: the enigmatic Rose.
But the house holds more than secrets.
As darkness closes in, ghostly horrors begin to stir. Shadows move where no one should be. Whispers echo through empty rooms. And Ryan soon realises the truth: escape isn’t an option.
Trapped by snow and surrounded by restless spirits, Ryan and Rose must survive until morning… if the house lets them.
