The Red House at Münstereifel
Chapbook created as part of Swan River's "Haunted Histories" metafiction series (fictional narratives set in real places).
"The history of the Red House at Münstereifel has a life of its own. When I began my research - which was meticulous - I was hoping to come across something in the building's history which would inspire a fiction. Instead I found that certain facts stood out, presenting themselves in a disturbing pattern. The more I investigated, the more these true facts in the history of the Red House suggested the narrative revealed in the booklet. I began to wonder whether I was researching a work of fiction, or really uncovering the most shocking secret in the history of Münstereifel. I leave it to the reader to judge!"
