The Wiches of Wormwood House
Wormwood House doesn’t just have skeletons in the closet; it has a corset in the walls.
Beatrice Blackwood, the First Witch of Wormwood, views reality as a series of equations to be solved. But when a structural miscalculation causes the East Wing to collapse, it unearths a variable she hadn't accounted for: the Corset of Truth. This isn't your grandmother’s foundation garment. Woven from silver and spider-silk, the lace doesn’t just cinch the waist—it squeezes out the most scandalous, repressed secrets of anyone within its emerald glow.
As the seven Blackwood sisters succumb to the garment's erotic enchantment, the rigid Edwardian decorum of Mallow-by-the-Sea begins to fray. The local Vicar’s theological resolve is dissolving faster than sugar in gin, and the pompous Mayor Finch is finding it increasingly difficult to hide his own silken predilections.
When a local fisherman washes up on the pier, bone-dry and pulsing with an unnatural light, Elspeth’s alchemical tests reveal a terrifying truth: the witches' private passions have begun to leak into the very sea itself.
In a house that breathes, groans, and watches, the sisters must master the lace before their darkest desires become the town's most public scandal. After all, at Wormwood House, the truth doesn't just set you free—it binds you tight.
