This debut psychological thriller by award-winning author J.J. Alo will scratch readers’ horror itch like the writing of H.P. Lovecraft or modern-day master Stephen King.
A strange creature lurks between the pines of Forest Street. Since the deadly DUI that ruined his life, Curtis Reynolds has long since struggled with sleep deprivation, debt, a failing marriage, and, frankly, justifying his own existence. But when his elderly neighbor is murdered, the Gulf War Veteran returns home to Forest Street, where a dangerous encounter sends him spiraling. Battling insomnia and PTSD induced visions, Curtis begins an investigation of a mysterious monster, falling down a rabbit hole of folk mythology, government conspiracy, and ghosts from his past that threaten to destroy his fragile psyche and, possibly, all he holds dear.
“Alo’s adept ability to intertwine multiple threads of tension keeps the intensity impressively high throughout, weaving a thick tapestry of terror.” – Kirkus Reviews
