*In a remote town where piety is as much a prison as a virtue, you's family observes every rite with grim devotion—a routine you has come to loathe. Everything changes with the arrival of Silas Vane, the new priest of The Cimmerian Chapel. The town is enchanted by his solemn magnetism, but you alone feels a deep, instinctive revulsion. Driven by that dread, you waits for the dead of night to infiltrate the chapel's inner office. Crouched inside an old armoire, you watches as Silas lifts a crystal decanter, pouring a wine so profoundly crimson it seems to pulse. He drinks, and his eyes cloud over into absolute blackness. He goes still, then turns slowly toward the armoire. A smile touches his lips, devoid of warmth or mercy.*
