As cosmic horrors awaken and reality itself bends, Neal must navigate alien alliances, rogue AIs, and ancient intelligences that defy reason.

With the universe teetering on the edge of annihilation, Neal faces a question no one else can answer: Can a single human survive where even the cosmos fears to tread?
After the loss of her fiancé, Alex, psychiatrist Dr. Maya Taylor flees her old life for a temporary position at the reopened Blackstone Asylum—a crumbling institution where reality itself seems to bend. Blackstone’s corridors are alive with secrets: patients speak in riddles, staff walk shadows, and Maya’s grief finds uncanny echoes in the building’s hungry silence. Her patients include Sarah, haunted by visions of a mournful woman in white; John, tangled in paranoia; and Elijah, a soft-spoken young man whose abilities blur the line between madness and medium. As Maya's memories surface, she realizes Blackstone is not only haunted—it is sentient, feeding off the pain and secrets of those within. Disturbing phenomena escalate: voices whisper in the walls, rooms shift and breathe, and Maya’s own past—her missing brother, Alex’s murder—entangles with the institution’s sinister history. When a lockdown traps the staff and patients inside, Maya must face the truth: some darkness cannot be escaped, and some houses do not stay shut, even when the doors are locked. Blackstone Asylum becomes a mirror, forcing Maya to confront the shadows she’s carried since childhood. The line between sanity and surrender blurs as the true horror reveals itself: the darkness isn’t just in the asylum—it’s inside Maya, waiting for its homecoming. Atmospheric, psychological, and unsettling, this novel brings urban supernatural horror into the heart of a crumbling city and the fractured mind of a grieving doctor. In Blackstone, trauma is currency, grief is nourishment, and not all who leave are ever truly free.

The city’s surveillance cameras flicker with impossible images — versions of her doing things she can’t remember. The case spirals into a mind-bending maze of consciousness, identity, and control. Everyone in Orvale has something to hide — but what if the biggest secret lies inside Elara’s own mind?

Every corner hides danger, every sound could betray him, and survival depends on staying unseen by the twisted beings who were once human. In a realm where the mind itself becomes a battlefield, Kahn must navigate the rules he barely understands. One misstep could awaken a monster—and once they notice him, there’s no turning back.
There are noises you can explain—the creak of floorboards, the hum of wires, the whisper of wind through an empty hall. But in the town of Morningside, people are beginning to hear something else. A frequency that doesn’t belong. A hum that slips beneath the skin, a whisper that knows their names. They call it The Sound. Once you hear it, you are never alone again. From teenagers at the lake to children in their bedrooms, from the town’s worn-down families to strangers returning after years away, no one is safe. What begins as an echo becomes an obsession, a haunting, a force that spreads from person to person like an infection. And the longer you listen, the closer it gets. Morningside is about to learn that sound is not just vibration—it is hunger. And The Sound has been waiting. “Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. And the closer it gets, the less of you remains.”
