Will morning ever come? And will anyone survive to see it? When their car breaks down on a desolate road during an intense storm, three travellers have no choice but to seek shelter in a crumbling mansion deep in the Welsh countryside. But the inhabitants of the house, the eccentric Femm family, are not what they seem. As the storm rages outside, tensions rise within, and the guests find themselves caught in a terrifying struggle for survival, menaced by the family’s sinister intentions and the house’s malevolent atmosphere. With every creak of the floorboards and flicker of a candle, they are drawn deeper into a macabre game of cat and mouse where the prize is their sanity…or their lives. First published in 1927, Benighted is a haunting Gothic thriller that combines elements of psychological horror, black comedy, and social commentary in a tale that unfolds over a single, terror-filled night.
