Oct 8, 2026

A slow-blooming, mostly instrumental set follows the book’s three escalating spaces: the séance’s uncertain threshold, the Daltons’ watchful house, and the storm-locked cabin where suspicion turns inward. Sparse electronics, uneasy drones, and restrained cinematic textures evoke Kristin’s isolation and the group’s unraveling without pulling focus; the two quiet vocal tracks bring in themes of fear, intimacy, and the uncanny.
