Slow-Burn Gothic Romance Story
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
I have the bones of a tale set in a lonely historical village and I need a skilled storyteller to bring it fully to life. The mood must stay dark and eerie from the very first line, yet the relationship at the centre should unfold as a true slow-burn romance—one moment of tenderness fighting its way through layers of dread and looming danger.
Here is what I’m after:
• A complete prose narrative (short-story or novella length—feel free to suggest what serves the plot best) that marries atmospheric horror with a gradual, believable emotional connection between the leads.
• Vivid period details that root every scene in the past without turning the piece into a history lesson.
• Sensory-rich writing that lets readers feel the damp cobblestones, hear the distant toll of a chapel bell, and catch the flicker of candlelight that may—or may not—hide something unnatural.
• A climax where both the romantic arc and the horror thread pay off, leaving a lingering chill as well as an ache of longing.
I’ll share prompts for key beats once we start, but you will have creative freedom to shape characters, lore, and twists. Clean, edited text in DOCX or Google Docs is perfect for delivery. If you’re excited by subtle terror entwined with yearning hearts, I’d love to see a short sample or link to work in a similar vein.
