The Harp of Vengeance

In the gaslit streets of a decaying European city, an elderly recluse named Alaric Finch becomes a victim of a brutal home invasion that leaves him shattered and the authorities indifferent. Channeling the ghost of Honoré de Balzac, this tale of meticulous, bloody revenge unfolds as Finch transforms his creaking townhouse into a chamber of horrors for the next unsuspecting burglar. When a local councilwoman blocked his pleas for justice on a digital forum, he learned that society’s sympathy is a hollow, fleeting gesture. Now, his macabre art of self-defense will force the world to confront its hypocrisy.
