Why these tropes fit

Set in the soul-binding, haunted Parsons Manor, the story centers on a married woman trapped in a union with a monstrous husband, who becomes fascinated with a terrifying yet hypnotic stranger who appears outside her window. Revealed to be a criminal mobster, the stranger offers her solace from the monster in her home, sparking a dark, forbidden romance between the married woman and the morally gray mobster, all set against the manor’s gothic, haunted atmosphere and the heroine’s constant fear of her spouse.
