"Elevation A" from the House of Secrets Omnibus (2013) delivers a haunting, atmospheric tale written by Steven T. Seagle and illustrated by Teddy Kristiansen, with colors by Bjarne Hansen and Heroic Age. As an aspiring architect grapples with the enigmatic influence of the House of Secrets, construction crews unwittingly unleash unsettling consequences—while a hidden truth about the building’s origins begins to surface, tied to Mr. Dalrymple’s mysterious acquisition of its original blueprints and their replication across the nation. The cover, also by Teddy Kristiansen, captures the story’s brooding, architectural unease.
In "Elevation A," the haunted history of the House of Secrets unfolds through layered tales: the stolen land, a forbidden affair, and an architect bound to the occult in pursuit of a design beyond mortal understanding. Each thread weaves through the house’s past, revealing secrets buried beneath its walls.
In "Foundation, Part Two," Rain’s past unravels through haunting flashbacks that contradict everything she’s told Traci and Ben, while her growing connection to Ben’s band leads her to write songs that feel eerily personal. As tensions rise, Rain shares a night with Erik, and Traci is violently assaulted by a stranger—events that fracture the fragile trust among them.
In "Foundation, Part Three," Rain faces a dangerous moral crossroads as she races to get Ben and Traci out of the house to fulfill her Witness duties. When she discovers a man in the basement was sentenced without a Witness, she makes a risky decision to free him—knowing the consequences could be deadly.
In "The Book of Law, Epilogue: Plyck," the mythic weight of Norse gods trapping Fenrir the Wolf unfolds across shifting pages, interrupted by brief, haunting interludes where Rain, Ben, and Traci drift in and out of the narrative, speaking directly to the reader with quiet unease. The story blends ancient legend with an intimate, eerie present, blurring the line between tale and warning.
In "The Road to You – Getting There, Part One," Rain, Ben, and Traci embark on a road trip to San Francisco, but when Rain ventures into the ruins of the Sutro Baths, she’s pulled into a haunting past she can’t escape. As the House of Secrets closes in, P.I. Calderone begins a relentless pursuit across the country to find her.
In "The Road to You – Getting There, Part Two," Rain, Ben, and Traci find themselves entangled in a dangerous conspiracy during a pivotal moment in history, as they navigate the shadows of the past and uncover unsettling truths about the House of Secrets—and its mysterious origins. The story unfolds with a tense, atmospheric pulse, weaving real historical currents with the surreal, revealing that the House has long been a presence across time, even when its members were not who they seem.
In "The Road to You – Getting There, Part Three of Three," Rain, Ben, and Traci return to the present after a harrowing journey through time, but the past’s price has not been forgotten. As Detective Calderone closes in, the weight of their choices and the lingering shadow of Pfaultz threaten to unravel everything they’ve fought to reclaim.
In "The Road to You Leaving There: Part Two of Three," Jo returns to Seattle only to find that the past still has claws—Pfaultz’s shadow lingers, and old debts demand payment. As the Juris confront Mitchell Cole, unraveling secrets he’s kept, Rain’s father arrives, bringing new tension to a town already teetering on the edge. Calderone’s presence adds another layer of pressure, and Rain must navigate a web of lies and looming consequences—where every truth could be the one that breaks her.
In "Elevation B," an aspiring architect named Rain finds herself drawn into the mysteries of the House of Secrets, where the line between design and dread blurs. As workmen attempt to tear it down, strange forces stir—revealing that Mr. Dalrymple once bought the original blueprints and replicated the house across the country. Rain and Ben confront their past, but the house holds secrets deeper than either of them expected.
