A novel about a man haunted by a blog predicting violent deaths in Liverpool.
The story focuses on David Botham, who encounters an online publication using his old ideas. The site reports on lethal incidents in Liverpool with disturbing accuracy. David struggles to identify the author and the source of their knowledge. As he investigates, he finds that a person from his history is closing in. The narrative builds tension through this creeping proximity rather than sudden shocks. Campbell uses the blog as a device to force David to confront what he has buried. The plot does not offer easy answers about the identity of the writer or the motive behind the killings.
Published in 2018 by Flame Tree Press, this work sits within the tradition of British supernatural fiction. It reflects a period where horror often focused on psychological dread and personal history rather than external monsters.

Campbell excels in building tension through psychological pressure rather than sudden shocks. The novel effectively uses the blog format to create a sense of inevitable doom, forcing the protagonist to confront his history. This approach suits readers who prefer atmospheric storytelling and moral ambiguity. While it may unsettle those seeking clear resolutions or fast-paced action, it rewards patience with a deep exploration of guilt.

It stands as a testament to the power of psychological horror in revealing hidden truths.
