Books that leave evidence.
I write the kind of books where something is wrong long before anybody can prove it. Psychological horror, Southern Gothic, supernatural dread, bad decisions, grief, obsession, and the occasional place that should have been left alone.
Play Dead
Psychological Thriller / Horror
Eighteen months after her daughter disappears, Kate sees her alive in a stranger’s livestream, dressed and treated like a doll. If Kate cannot prove the little girl called Annie is actually Mia, her daughter could spend the rest of her childhood trapped in a nightmare that strangers are paying to watch.
