📝 Description: Entry Wounds: A Supernatural Thriller

Brandon McNulty presents a supernatural thriller that merges the procedural tension of Dexter with the vigilante rage of Death Wish. The narrative follows Ken Fujima, a substitute teacher in suburban Pennsylvania who attempts to reconstruct his life after a violent home invasion. During the attack, which targets his wheelchair-bound father, Ken grabs a mysterious revolver to defend himself. This weapon is revealed to be a cursed yakuza artifact that fuses to his hand. The curse dictates that he cannot release the gun until he has killed six individuals, or until he dies himself. Tormented by this gruesome ultimatum, Ken collaborates with his estranged brother, who is a recovering heroin addict. They aim to target drug dealers responsible for recent overdoses among Ken’s high school students. As time passes and other violent opportunities emerge, the haunted revolver influences events if Ken hesitates to choose his victims. The story examines the moral decay of a man forced into murder while trying to maintain his ethics. McNulty, known for Bad Parts, delivers a pulse-pounding narrative that questions the limits of justice when supernatural forces intervene in human affairs.

McNulty effectively merges procedural tension with supernatural dread, creating a relentless narrative pace that keeps readers engaged. The premise of a cursed gun demanding six deaths serves as a potent metaphor for the loss of agency and moral decay. While the concept borrows from established vigilante tropes, the supernatural element adds a layer of inevitable doom that elevates the stakes. This title suits best for horror enthusiasts who appreciate character-driven plots where the antagonist is both an object and a force of nature, challenging the protagonist's humanity in real-time.
