The Blackmere Verses

 

Townsfolk speak of a single manuscript, bound in crimson leather, known only as The Blackmere Verses.

Said to be written by the mysterious Addison Black, only one copy was said to exist, its whereabouts unknown.

Yet whispers of its contents spread through Blackmere Hollow like smoke through autumn air.

 

Though the manuscript itself has never been found, Black's unmistakable work has begun surfacing.

Haunting photographs, each bearing a mysterious rhyming verse. Their discovery confirms what scholars have long debated:

The Blackmere Verses are real.

 

It is wildly believed that Black was merely a conduit, his hand guided by the very souls he captured with his camera lens.

That the verses reveal dark secrets of the Hollow. Fragments of a larger puzzle hidden behind walls and scattered in forgotten places.

 

Dozens of verses remain unassembled, lost. Some say that when the final verse surfaces, Blackmere Hollow will reveal itself.

Others fear something far more sinister will occur.

Note: The Museum of What Once Was maintains the only authenticated collection of Black's work to date.
