The Mortuary Collection

In the mist‑shrouded island of Raven’s End, the 1980s linger like a neon‑lit memory, painting the town with a warm retro glow that masks an unsettling undercurrent. The centerpiece of this quiet community is the Raven’s End Mortuary, a modest stone building whose ancient doors have watched generations come and go. Its corridors are lined with the quiet reverence of a place where life’s final chapter is handled with a mixture of solemnity and strange, almost ritualistic charm, setting a tone that feels both nostalgic and faintly uncanny.

When a drifter seeking work steps through the mortuary’s threshold, Sam finds herself drawn into an environment that feels simultaneously ordinary and otherworldly. She meets the enigmatic mortician at the heart of the establishment, Montgomery Dark, whose presence is as dignified as it is eccentric. His manner is measured, his knowledge of the town’s history deep, and his fascination with the thin veil between the everyday and the macabre becomes the thread that binds them together.

Montgomery begins to share the whispered legends that have settled into the island’s collective memory—stories of forgotten residents, strange customs, and lingering regrets that seem to echo off the mortuary’s walls. As the tales unfold, the atmosphere grows thick with a quiet dread, and the line between recorded history and living nightmare starts to blur. The mortuary becomes a conduit for the past, inviting Sam to listen, to question, and to feel the subtle pull of forces that refuse to stay hidden.

Caught between curiosity and an increasing sense of unease, Sam discovers that her new role is more than a simple job; it is an invitation to peer into the shadows that the town has long kept at bay. The partnership she forms with Montgomery hints at a deeper, unspoken pact—a shared journey into the heart of Raven’s End’s darkest secrets, where each whispered story threatens to reshape her understanding of reality itself.
