The Colors That Haunt Us - Paperback

by Aspen Rayne (Author)

When Clara Taylor accepts a mysterious artist residency she never applied for, it feels like the perfect escape. Thirty days in an isolated manor. No distractions. No expectations. Just enough time to outrun the collapse of her life and start again.

But Rosenfeld Manor is not empty.

Cut off from the outside world, Clara quickly realizes the house does not behave like a place meant to be lived in. Rooms shift. Time slips. Doors refuse to stay where she left them. The deeper she settles in, the more the manor seems to watch, to listen... to take.

And then there's Suzette.

A woman who should not be there. A woman who speaks as if the house belongs to her, or perhaps as if she belongs to it. Drawn to her despite every warning, Clara finds herself pulled into something far more dangerous than isolation: a slow, intimate unraveling of memory, identity, and desire.

As the house begins to shape her art, her thoughts, and even her sense of time, Clara must decide: leave while she still can, or stay long enough to understand what Rosenfeld Manor truly wants.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Gothic horror with a psychological edge
• Haunted houses that feel alive
• Slow-burn tension and creeping dread
• Queer relationships layered with obsession and unease
• Stories about art, grief, and identity slipping out of control

Rosenfeld Manor is not just a house. It is a presence. And once it notices you, it does not let go.
