📝 Description: Dead Frequency

Sharon King writes Dead Frequency, a supernatural thriller that examines the intersection of rational skepticism and paranormal belief. The narrative follows Sam Smith, a character defined by his reliance on data and logic, alongside his cousin Alex, who accepts the existence of ghosts. Their journey toward a paranormal conference takes a dark turn when a violent storm forces them onto an abandoned road. There they meet a stranger claiming to have survived a crash, though evidence suggests he is deceased. The plot unfolds as Sam and Alex investigate unexplained radio signals and disembodied voices. They discover a haunting presence linked to a past tragedy that refuses to remain buried. This chance encounter evolves into their first real case, revealing that some spirits actively reach out rather than merely lingering. The story explores themes of family bonds and obsession within the context of a haunted landscape. This book suits readers who enjoy atmospheric supernatural thrillers grounded in mystery and investigation. It appeals to those interested in stories where technology and the occult collide. Readers seeking lighthearted horror or purely historical gothic tales may find the tone too intense. The narrative structure focuses on the immediate, chilling encounter between the living and the dead.
