'Return of the Soul' Summary
When a renowned author inherits an old mansion, he dismisses the rumors of it being haunted as mere superstition. However, strange and unsettling events soon begin to unfold, culminating in the ghostly apparition of a beautiful woman. As the author delves deeper into the mystery surrounding her death, he uncovers a tragic tale of love, betrayal, and unresolved grief. Tormented by guilt and a growing attraction to the specter, he must confront his skepticism and the possibility that the soul of his deceased lover has returned to seek vengeance or perhaps, redemption.Book Details
