📝 Description: Unto You

C G Durrant’s Unto You presents a psychological horror narrative centered on three men: Miles, Will, and Burney. These characters are bound by a shared history of mugging and abusing innocent people for motives ranging from financial gain to social acceptance. The plot initiates when Will detects he is being followed, sparking paranoia that the police have finally uncovered their crimes. Instead, they discover they are hunted by entities from their past seeking vengeance for an injustice. As the trio attempts to identify their pursuers, they realize these figures possess an unnatural knowledge of their movements and inner thoughts. This revelation fractures their alliance, pitting them against one another in a cycle of mistrust that escalates into violence and murder. The narrative structure relies on this internal conflict rather than external action alone. Durrant, the author and publisher, constructs a story where the true threat is not just the external hunter but the deformed reflection of Will himself. The book suits readers who enjoy character-driven horror where psychological breakdown drives the plot. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional monster hunts or clear-cut resolutions.
