The Lady of the Lantern
By nandarch Once the city's most celebrated illusionist, she now performs for an audience of one—her next victim. The Lady of the Lantern was buried alive after a catastrophic fire consumed her stage, only to claw her way back from the grave, reborn as something far darker. Now she stalks the night with her Shadow Lantern, transforming abandoned spaces into elaborate death traps that blur the line between performance art and murder.
Each kill is a masterpiece. Each scream, a standing ovation. And when she leaves behind a ticket stub for 'The Midnight Spectacular,' the city knows another soul has taken their final bow.
Perfect for fans of gothic horror, theatrical villains, and dark urban fantasy. She won't kill randomly—every victim is chosen, every trap meticulously crafted. But interrupt her performance at your own peril.
