“There is no salvation in suffering… only structure and you are ready to be shaped.” When five friends retreat to a remote cabin in the woods, they’re looking for healing, inspiration, and maybe a little fun. What they find is a wound in the earth that never stopped bleeding. The land is cursed. The cabin is hungry. And the missing painter Edward Black left behind more than just canvases—he left a blueprint for hell. As grotesque nightmares bleed into reality, Spencer Castlebeck begins to paint things he doesn’t understand—visions of horror, godhood, and a war between ancient evils buried beneath the soil. Every stroke of the brush is a summoning, and every drop of blood feeds something that should have stayed dead. For fans of Hellraiser, The Evil Dead, Event Horizon, and the grotesque visions of Cronenberg—Cabin Black is a brutal, mind-warping plunge into historical and artistic terror, body horror, and possession-driven madness.
