The Candle in the Cellar
A sudden draft. A hidden hatch. A candle already burning in a place that shouldn’t exist.
In this unnerving tale from the Shack, an innocent investigation leads to a flickering encounter with something unnatural—and and far more ancient—than expected. What begins as curiosity becomes a chilling obsession… and some flames should never be blown out.
