Burn the Record

Some photographs capture memories. This one traps them. In the haunted streets of New Orleans, grief-stricken photographer Corbin Graves has made a career documenting decay—ruins, forgotten places, and the quiet echoes of death. But when a single photograph reveals an impossible detail—a stone angel weeping pure silver—Corbin is drawn into a mystery that defies reality itself. An antique camera. A cursed plantation. A fire that never truly ended. Armed with a relic known as The Lucida, Corbin discovers he can photograph not just the present—but the past. At the ruins of Belle Rêve, a long-burned plantation, his lens reveals a living world frozen in time… and the trapped souls still reliving their final moments. Among them is a girl who can see him. As Corbin digs deeper, he uncovers a dark legacy of ritual, stolen life, and a family that has fed on suffering for generations. But the more he looks, the more the past begins to look back—and bleed into the present. Now, with reality unraveling and the dead reaching through the lens, Corbin must confront a truth more terrifying than any ghost: Some records were never meant to be exposed. And some fires never go out. Perfect for fans of gothic horror, supernatural mystery, haunted objects, and dark historical fantasy, Burn the Record is a chilling descent into memory, grief, and the things that refuse to stay buried.
