Synopsis

Jack Barr wanted peace, so he sailed to the farthest island he could find. What he discovered was a house frozen in time—and a girl who believed it was still 1933. Radios, newspapers, and memories all confirmed her world. But Jack knew it was 1953.As he unravels the mystery, he’s drawn into a strange and haunting truth that blends isolation, memory manipulation, and science gone too far. Who is this girl? Why has she been hidden? And what does the brilliant, reclusive scientist Martin Kesserich have to do with it?Yesterday House is a slow-burning psychological and science fiction mystery filled with eerie atmosphere, emotional tension, and an unforgettable twist.Perfect for fans of speculative thrillers, lost time stories, and classic mid-century science fiction with a dark edge.
