La Silenciosa: The Silent Beauty of Death
A gothic horror novel by Shadab Alam Khanson
Author of Tales of Haunted Hospitals and The Carnival Curse Series
She doesn't scream. She doesn't chase. She simply waits - beautiful, veiled, and deathly silent.
When Claire Donovan checks into the luxurious yet remote Silverwood Resort, hidden deep in the misty woods of Northern California, she seeks healing - not horror. Grieving a personal loss, she hopes Mirror Lake will offer peace.
But Silverwood has a secret.
Guests are vanishing. Unmarried men drown mysteriously. Cabin doors creak open at night. Mirrors fog without breath. Whispers travel through the trees. Footsteps echo long after midnight. Beneath it all lies the legend of Isabella Hart - the betrayed bride turned ghost, known as La Silenciosa.
They say she only appears to the unmarried - to those who speak of love but don't understand its cost.
They say her beauty is unforgettable - until she shows you her true face.
They say she waits in the water - and if you see her, you're already too late.
As Claire investigates the resort's tragic past, she uncovers:
A secret affair that ended in death and silence
An antique mirror believed to trap a soul
Diary pages soaked in fresh blood, written by a woman long dead
Wedding rings left beside lifeless bodies
A family line cursed by broken vows
Each discovery draws her closer to a ghost who doesn't rest, doesn't speak - and doesn't forgive.
La Silenciosa: The Silent Beauty of Death is a lyrical and terrifying journey into gothic horror. In this tale of mirrors, betrayal, and ghostly vengeance, silence is the deadliest sound of all.
