Perils of Otranto is a psychological exploration of grief, trauma, and manipulation. In this story, Isabella, a young caregiver, becomes entangled in client Godfrey's dark past and the delusions that shape his present. The elderly man's obsession with re-creating his lost family, especially through Isabella's resemblance to his deceased sister, leads to a nightmarish situation where reality and fantasy blur. Isabella's naivety and kindness initially protect her, but as Godfrey's behaviour escalates, she finds herself trapped in a dangerous and favoured childhood game of "House".
