Omschrijving

In a world of noise, the most seductive silence hides the most terrifying stories.

Elara Vesper, a master restorer of rare books, believes she has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime. The reclusive and elegant Arthur Vane has hired her to preserve his family's unique collection—a library of uniformly bound, untitled volumes housed in the profound silence of his secluded estate.

But this is no ordinary archive.

The books are written on a strange, warm leather, and they don't just contain stories—they contain lives. With a single touch, Elara is flooded with the raw, intimate memories of their authors: a final prayer, a lover's kiss, a moment of pure terror. Arthur explains this is a sacred duty, the preservation of human essence in its most perfect form.

Seduced by the beauty of the records and by Arthur himself, Elara's professional fascination spirals into a dangerous obsession. She soon makes a chilling discovery: the Archive is not just reading the past; it is writing the present. A new sentence has appeared, in a handwriting she knows all too well.

Her own.

Now, Elara faces a terrible choice: flee the estate and return to her fragile, fleeting life, or accept the Archive's invitation to become the final, permanent chapter in a collection where to be loved is to be consumed, and to be preserved is to cease to exist.

A chilling fusion of Gothic atmosphere, psychological suspense, and visceral horror, The Archive of Flesh is a darkly seductive tale about the price of immortality and the terrifying allure of a perfect ending.
