📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A group trapped in a funeral home faces a sinister entity exploiting their guilt.

The narrative centers on Precious, Josh, June, and Chance as they navigate a terrifying ordeal. Angel preys on their deepest fears, using their guilt to claim their hearts physically and spiritually. The group attempts to destroy the entity by severing its connection to these claimed hearts, yet his manipulative power casts doubt on their success. Hammond focuses on the psychological toll of the experience, highlighting how personal demons surface under pressure. The story does not rely on external rescue but on the characters confronting their own corruption. This approach creates a tense atmosphere where survival depends on facing internal darkness as much as the external threat.
