The Forgotten Cloister
By Edward Freeman
Fiction | Psychological Horror | Dark Fantasy
When rare manuscript restorer Katherine Moreau receives a mysterious box from a cloaked stranger, her quiet life in Greystone Village is shattered. Inside lies a glowing seal and a message that changes everything: “The Cloister awaits. Enter, or the Forgotten will find you.”
Drawn into a surreal and shifting world where the boundary between memory and reality no longer exists, Kate must confront the deepest corners of her past. The Cloister is no ordinary place—it is a labyrinth shaped by guilt, regret, and unresolved trauma. Each level challenges not just her body, but her mind and soul.
As Kate descends through trials both symbolic and supernatural, she forms tenuous alliances with others who are trapped, each haunted by secrets of their own. But the deeper she ventures, the more powerful the force behind the Cloister becomes—a malevolent entity known only as The Unseen, which feeds on forgotten pain.
To escape, Kate must do more than survive—she must understand the truth behind the seal, the purpose of the Cloister, and the role she’s meant to play in a cycle far older than she imagined.
The Forgotten Cloister is a genre-blending work of psychological horror and dark fantasy that explores the tension between memory and identity, trauma and transformation. With rich atmosphere, symbolic architecture, and a protagonist who walks the line between scholar and survivor, this novel is perfect for readers who enjoy introspective horror with a mythic undertone.
