About this listen



Nestled in the quiet town of Brookhaven, Eleanor Marsh’s life as a librarian has always been peaceful, predictable, and safe. She finds comfort in the rows of books that surround her, their well-worn pages carrying stories of adventure, mystery, and hope. But when an unmarked book appears in the library’s collection, Eleanor’s ordered world begins to unravel.

The book is unlike any other. Its leather cover is cracked with age, its spine unmarked, and its pages disturbingly blank—at first. Then, names begin to appear. Each name belongs to someone in Brookhaven, and beneath each one is a cryptic prediction of how they will die. At first, Eleanor thinks it’s a strange coincidence, but as the predictions come true, her fear turns to horror.

The book doesn’t just predict deaths—it causes them.

Desperate to save her friends and neighbors, Eleanor dives into the mystery of the book, uncovering a dark history that stretches back generations. She learns of others who encountered it, their lives marked by tragedy and despair. No one has ever escaped its grasp. Every name written in the book has led to a life lost, and the malevolent force tied to its pages—a shadow that feeds on fear and pain—has claimed them all.

As the book tightens its grip, Eleanor realizes she is not just an observer—she is the target. The shadow begins to haunt her, whispering in her ear, tormenting her with visions of what’s to come. It forces her into an impossible game: save one life, or lose another. Every choice she makes feels like a step closer to her own doom.

But Eleanor is no ordinary victim. Beneath her quiet demeanor lies a strength she didn’t know she possessed. As she battles the shadow’s terrifying power, she discovers a shocking truth: the book’s curse can be broken. Yet breaking it requires an unimaginable sacrifice—one that could cost Eleanor everything.

The Dark Archive is a chilling psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With heart-pounding suspense, haunting twists, and a heroine who refuses to give up, this is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding fight against darkness.

Can Eleanor unravel the secrets of the book and outsmart the shadow that seeks to destroy her? Or will she become just another name on its cursed pages?

The answers lie in The Dark Archive—but beware: once you open its pages, you may not be able to put it down.
