📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A boy buried in a courtyard holds the key to godhood and global destruction.

Fish constructs a dual narrative structure that juxtaposes the immediate physical horror of children with supernatural abilities against the psychological thriller elements of investigative journalism. The text examines the cost of power through the lens of Frazier’s compound, where survival is tied to mass casualty events. Whitey Jones serves as the audience surrogate for uncovering the truth behind these unnatural occurrences. The story does not shy away from the brutal consequences of scientific experimentation on vulnerable subjects. It explores how ambition can corrupt both the powerful and the seekers of truth.

📝 Description: Conception (Revised): Revised and Re-Edited

K S Fish presents a narrative centered on Tyler Hudgens, who awakens buried to his neck in a courtyard alongside twenty other terrified children. This setting introduces Frazier’s compound, a facility designed to unlock latent powers within its young inhabitants. The goal is to transform these individuals into gods, a process that demands the sacrifice of 2.5 million lives. When internal conflict fractures the group, the survivors face a battle that determines global fate. Parallel to this supernatural struggle is the story of David Whitey Jones, a novice reporter assigned to the Tyler Hudgens case. He pursues a lead described as the Moby Dick of journalism, uncovering elements of telekinesis and betrayal. His investigation into mad science and corporate conspiracy pushes him toward a Pulitzer Prize, though the pursuit risks his life. The narrative weaves together the physical survival of the children with the investigative drive of the journalist. This work appeals to readers interested in supernatural fiction and gothic themes involving young protagonists with extraordinary abilities. It suits those who enjoy stories about moral ambiguity and high-stakes conspiracies. Readers seeking gentle romance or non-fiction historical accounts will find this content unsuitable. The plot hinges on the tension between divine ambition and human mortality.
