Skeleton Under the Lamp
Jerry Stearch and Hiram Hawse, fresh out of prison, seek shelter and work at the eerie estate of Caldoon, a strange artist known for giving ex-convicts a second chance. As they navigate the cold winter and Caldoon's strange ways, they face an unnerving reality lurking beneath the surface. The mansion is filled with grotesque art, enigmatic symbols, and a pervasive sense of foreboding. When Stearch crosses paths with Mamie, a former acquaintance now turned the lady of the manor, he is drawn into a sinister web of secrets that threaten to unravel their lives. This chilling story of redemption and ruin, of strange art and stranger patrons, is a haunting exploration of the human spirit's struggle for freedom and the lengths one will go to survive. "Redemption is just the beginning. Survival is the art."

About the author
K. Rose
44 books556 followersK. Rose has been a part of the Indie Author Community for years. Getting her start as a reader, her keen eye led to a wonderful career in Alpha/Beta and ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reading. As a joke to her fellow advanced reader colleagues, she created a spoofed blurb and cover for a story and the feedback was so positive that it sparked her to run with it.
That stoked a fire that has her racing down a multi-genre freeway with no off-ramp in sight. K. doesn’t write to “market” and she is fairly certain that her humor and use of puns may cause an eye roll or two. This still wouldn’t stop her from making sure there is humor in every one of her stories. As a Multi Genre Author, there is sure to be something for everyone to love.
She has traveled the USA extensively, including Alaska, and lived in thirty-eight of the fifty states. Home is now the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where she dreams up her stories in the company of her menagerie of furbabies, including five puppies, five rescue kitties, a bunch of chickens, ducks and turkeys ruled by a Rooster named Chicken Parm, and a ninety-gallon tropical fish tank.
Life will always be interesting for K. Rose, which will fuel her works, and keep her muses singing, come join the chorus.
