📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A military veteran moves to Moss Point and faces witchcraft after marrying Tess Miner.

Brody Caldwell leaves behind his life as a freelance reporter for the U.S. Military to find peace in Moss Point. He marries Tess Miner, but their new life quickly turns into a nightmare involving dark rituals and violence. Bradley focuses on the personal cost of this descent into horror rather than offering broad commentary on society. The narrative remains tightly bound to Brody’s perspective as he confronts the sinister elements of his new community. This approach creates an intimate atmosphere of dread, making the supernatural threats feel immediate and personal. The story does not rely on complex political intrigue or extensive historical context. Instead, it prioritizes the emotional and physical survival of its protagonist against a backdrop of local evil. Bradley’s background informs the realistic portrayal of Brody’s military past, which contrasts sharply with the chaotic present.
