About the series
Three dark literary horror novels about obsession, silk, and the thin line between art and madness. A detective who learns to see beauty in what terrifies him. A curator who loves her collection too much. And the thread that connects them — fraying.
Theme: what art costs the artist. Motif: buttons. Keep the lights on.
About the author
Bartosz Osiej writes crime horror with a systems engineer's eye. He is a Polish developer working in Rust, eBPF and the Linux kernel, and he brings that same precision to fiction: obsession, cryptography, and the quiet, mechanical ways people hurt each other. He lives in Poland and writes in English.

The books
Book One
The Stitcher
Marcus Delgado was a good detective. Fifteen years on the force. Twenty-three homicides. Four cold cases. Then he walked into apartment 4B and found Mrs. Harlow surrounded by dolls made from human skin. Now Marcus is obsessed — not with the killing, but with the creation. A literary thriller about the dark side of creation and the thin line between art and madness.
Book Two
The Curator
Pia Redfern inherits a private museum: three rooms of taxidermy, shells, and curiosities collected over a century. The will forbids her from opening the storage room at the far end. She opens it anyway. Sleeping Beauty, 1912. Preserved in glass. Not dead. What does a museum do when its exhibits start looking back?
Book Three
The Reckoning
The thread is fraying. Someone is cutting it. The evidence is vanishing from the museum. The dolls are appearing in new places — homes, cars, waiting rooms where nobody hangs coats. A woman without a name is taking the pieces apart to find the pattern underneath. The end of the trilogy.
