Wrathenville - Gothic horror novel by G. O. Sanni.

Wrathenville - Gothic horror novel by G. O. Sanni.

Author G. O. Sanni introduces a supernatural thriller set in a village hidden from the modern world.

Wrathenville, a novel by G. O. Sanni, is a dark and atmospheric supernatural thriller that blends gothic folklore, occult horror, and psychological suspense. Set in the shadowed forests of Dartmoor, the story centres on an isolated village that has remained hidden for centuries-and from which few outsiders return.

Wrathenville does not appear on maps, nor does it welcome visitors. Its inhabitants live unnaturally long lives, guard their isolation fiercely, and protect a secret sealed generations ago in blood. Strangers who stumble into the village often vanish without explanation, while those who manage to leave find themselves unable to return.

The novel follows Dr. Elias Welburn, a folklore researcher investigating reports of disappearances and unexplained phenomena. Expecting exaggerated superstition, Elias instead encounters a community suspended between eras, where the mist seems watchful and the surrounding forest feels alive. As his investigation deepens, the boundary between myth and reality begins to dissolve.

At the centre of Wrathenville lies an ancient force sustained through ritual and sacrifice. As Elias uncovers the village's history, the mystery becomes increasingly personal. Wrathenville is not merely an object of study-it is bound to him by blood, lineage, and a fate that challenges his understanding of identity and free will.

Drawing on classic gothic traditions while incorporating modern psychological tension, Wrathenville delivers a slow-building sense of dread. The novel explores themes of inherited guilt, cyclical violence, and the powerful human desire for belonging, even when that belonging comes at a devastating cost.

As the village prepares to close itself off once more, Elias must decide whether to flee while he still can-or accept the place that has been calling to him across generations.

Wrathenville is available worldwide in ebook and paperback formats. The ebook edition is available through Amazon Kindle, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Smashwords. The paperback edition is available on Amazon.
