#BeBrazen Saturday
Last week we shared some insight into one of our most loved characters, The Threnody. The character who haunted Ruthann’s dreams, demanding to be created as a conduit between worlds that exist in Delevan House. The Threnody enhances the mother in us both.

The Making of Delevan House #19
The release of Delevan House is only a month away! And trust us when we say there will be far deeper articles shared on Brazen Folk Horror about the lore within those pages.
