Whispers don’t lie. But will they save her… or trap her forever?

When Aanya Verma inherits her estranged aunt’s decaying hill estate, she expects silence. Instead, she finds a house that breathes in secrets and exhales fear.

Every locked door hums with history. Every mirror reflects someone else’s memory. And every whisper in the night… calls her by name.
But this isn’t just a haunting. It’s a ritual that never ended.

With the help of Veer, a mysterious forest officer with his own buried past, Aanya must uncover why the house waited for her—and why leaving it might be the deadliest choice of all.

 A slow-burn horror thriller laced with forbidden truths, ancient rituals, and a romance born in the ruins of reality.

In the Withered House… the past doesn’t rest. And neither will you.

It's about what we bury, what we fear, and what still whispers to us when we think we've moved on.


Whispers of the Withered House was born from the idea that not all hauntings come from ghosts—


And some from the past we pretend we never lived.


In these chapters, you'll find shadows that breathe, doors that remember, and touches that were never meant to be touched.


But you'll also find a girl reclaiming her story…


And a boy who was never supposed to stay.


I wrote this for those who like their mysteries slow, their horror soft but chilling, and their romance tangled in silence.


If the house gives you goosebumps, if the secrets make your heart race—
