Refracted

When obsession meets the supernatural, some photographs are worth dying for.

Desperate to revive her failing career, photographer Malaya Stephenson travels to a ruined coastal cathedral-only to uncover a hidden crypt and awaken a malevolent leprechaun king sealed away for decades. Dragged into the flooded catacombs and forced to complete a deadly resurrection ritual, Malaya turns the magic against itself, shattering both her camera and the supernatural force it unleashed. But survival comes with a haunting price: her final photographs now carry fragments of the king's power, capable of enthralling anyone who sees them. Malaya must choose anonymity over acclaim, guarding images too dangerous to ever leave her hands.

A tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the perilous seduction of forbidden beauty, this story asks one haunting question: What is the cost of seeing too much?

A Gothic horror that explores the dark side of artistic ambition, where the line between inspiration and obsession becomes a matter of life and death.

Perfect for readers who love atmospheric horror, supernatural thrillers, and stories that ask: How much would you sacrifice for the perfect shot?
