Knowledge is power, but power for who? Sometimes the language can pull itself free from the page. Once loose, what does it do after being trapped for a thousand years? These words became a monster, and the Occult Research Center's containment wasn't built for a creature of this magnitude. Can the researchers stop the beast before it escapes? This dark cosmic entity doesn't start as a Lovecraftian old one or elder god, but as it eats, it quickly becomes one.

The winter can be bright and full of entertainment. Nick, liked skiing, for instance. He would always take a winter vacation from work when the first heavy snows hit Colorado, and he always stayed somewhere new. When a winter storm hit the Great Heartwood Lodge however, Nick instead found himself trapped in a grand hotel full of nightmares.   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MortisMaledictum Join our Discord Community: https://discord.com/invite/cM4kxbaBHw Get the book and read along: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C33Z336 Episode Credits:Written by Devin McCamey Narrated by Jeremiah John Nick: Gorath Hyun Laura: Rosie KnucklesQuinn O'Connell: Jeremiah John Elias and Antonio: Jeremiah John Female Monster: Rosie Knuckles Sound Design: Lawrence Lyons Artwork: Brandon McCamey Custom Music: Jonathan Capers   Pearce Roswell / Get Mine / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen / Enter the Realm of Shadows / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Hampus Naeselius / Cluster One / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Jon Bjork / The Tomb / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com  Guustavv / Swoozy Swizz / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com For Fans Of: - Old Gods of Appalachia - H.P.

Language is a link through time to read tales long since turned to ash. The Words lost have bound themselves to Quinn O'Connell. There are those that need that lost knowledge, but traps long since laid risk more than just Quinn's sanity. The threads placed in our previous tales are beginning to weave themselves together.

Dreams are best left in the minds of the sleeping. If they were to escape into our world, what nightmares might terrorize those who are unaccustomed to the dark? What truths of the mind and heart might be revealed? What pain and loss might one discover?

Companionship in dark days is important. Just having someone to talk to can help ease the heavy burden of loneliness. But when that voice is stolen from you, what then? Is there anything you wouldn't do to find that connection again, however tenuous? Is there any price you wouldn't pay to read your friend's words on the page of a forbidden text just to know them for a moment longer? That feeling corrupts, and the book brings strength and pain.

Plague, fear, and an ever expanding mass of bodies tend to go hand in hand. They often follow one another everywhere. They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and wishing an end to all needless suffering certainly seems like one of the most noble of intentions, does it not? Doctors, priests, science, magic, all of it is a road to an answer but the act of asking the right questions comes at price...

Glory, the mortals cry. Glory for their sons and daughters. Glory for their Husbands and Wives. May kith and kin hold your name on their lips and in their hearts well after your passing... but pass you must. What good is a memory if the only ones who hold it are bound to walk this world for eternity? Even dust blows away but here you must remain, for Glory...

Weighing the hearts and minds of mortals is such a simple thing. It's all about the balance of the scale, weight and counter weight. Cause and effect. Every soul has its value, every life has a price.
