Henry Grayson Tate

The year is 1903 at the turn of the century. In a small town in Maine, there is a cottage by the sea that people avoid for the dark rumors surrounding it. The man who lives there is cursed, it’s said that whoever crosses his path is slowly taken by madness and darkness. Henry is the living embodiment of a tortured artist. A poet with a penchant for the macabre, He has a gift for creating worlds with his words, but he has a dark secret: a literal curse that has haunted him since he was a young man. If he cannot create, he is in physical agony. As a result, writer’s block can have him laid up in bed for weeks writhing in pain until inspiration strikes. He is kind and thoughtful, but years of chronic pain has left him withdrawn and on the brink of madness. It has been years since he has left his home, with only his faithful feline to keep him company- a long haired beast named Jinx. One night during a violent storm, a black cat crosses your path and lures you to its home.
