In the Manor of Heather Black Second Edition Gary D Henry

Reedited and reformatted with a few additional scenes The story begins in pre-civil war Virginia. Cyrus Black purchased a massive estate consisting of fifty bedrooms. Twenty-five of which were on the haunted and bloody west wing. Cyrus was a humble man who ran away from the monarchy searching for a smaller life as a farmer in America. He married his beautiful but troubled wife, Heather, and moved into a famed manor in Virginia. Unaware to Cyrus, Heather, his beautiful wife led another life, a secretive life as a practicing witch. Many things seemed to anger her much to the dismay of the calm and regal Cyrus. It angered her that the women didn't bow down to her great beauty and fawn over her. Lamenting the aging process, she found a seldom-used spell that would make her forever young and magically force the people in the small community to love her as much as she loved herself. However, for the spell to work, she had to kill her loving husband and remove a body part or relic and hide it within the great manor to be used along with five additional relics from future generations of Heather Blacks, for a final ritual that would give her everlasting beauty and immortality. She cursed the mansion to only allow those named Heather Black to live in the house and each of five Heather Blacks fought the will to gruesomely kill their husbands and aid her quest. Though Heather died, she lived a long life. The spell allowed her spirit to endure within the mansion to ensure that the future Heather Black's adhere to her will. Each wife fought the desires to harm their loving husbands but the original Heather Black's will forced their hand. The spirits of the dead husbands offered future Heather Blacks clues as to how to defeat the spirits plans. See how the generations of Heather Blacks coped with the horrors within the manor.
