Publisher's Synopsis
"Demons are real, and they want your soul."
Gerald Ackerman has always seen the world differently. In the sinister village of Willowbrook, the mundane transforms into the macabre-ordinary faces become grotesque, decaying visages, and ghostly remnants replay their final, harrowing moments. But nothing prepares him for the Whispering Man.
With eyes that pierce the night in garish red vibrancy, the Whispering Man's presence is unmistakable and terrifying. Clad in a bloodstained trilby, splattered from previous victims, he is the embodiment of Gerald's deepest fears.
Struggling to distinguish reality from hallucination, Gerald grapples with the psychological toll of his visions. The line between nightmare and reality blurs as he uncovers a horrifying truth-his bloodline is cursed, linked to a centuries-old evil rooted in a deviant sect of the Knights Templar.
As he delves deeper into this dark legacy, Gerald is not alone. With the help of his best friend Nathan and two supernatural detectives-George Reynolds, a werewolf, and DS Michael Dalton, a Kitsune-they investigate a string of sadistic murders plaguing the village. Together, they race against time to unlock the mysteries of Pandora's Box and prevent the gates of hell from erupting.
The stakes escalate when Nathan is infected by the sword of an evil Templar Knight, laced with a deadly toxin that not even Detective Reynolds can heal. Leaving him with only 24 hours to live-the same amount of time Gerald has to stop the impending apocalypse. Battling dark and dangerous obstacles, they face unleashed 'Undeads' causing chaos and spreading fear like wildfire.
Haunted by cryptic messages from his deceased father, Gerald must decipher these clues to save his family and his sanity. In this spine-chilling tale of supernatural suspense, Gerald faces the ultimate battle: to confront the harrowing truth of his lineage or succumb to the evil, wailing whispers, 'Why do you let me in? Just let me in, and the pain will end', says the 'Whispering man', a torment that threatens to consume his soul.
Discover a gripping and unsettling tale of Gerald Ackerman in an atmosphere thick with dread, where the line between the living and the dead blurs, and every shadow hides a sinister secret.
