Glitching between dimensions wasn’t supposed to be my life, but sometimes you have to dance with the darkness.
I should be dead. Shot twice through the chest. But the Embassy saved me because I’m a one-of-a-kind freak who blips to worlds they can’t reach. Now I’m their personal mule, raiding collapsing planets to fatten their coffers. Lucky me.
And things have gone from bad to worse. My old team is being held hostage, my family’s in danger, and the darkness hunts me across realities. My one shot to end this living hell? Take down the Embassy, save Charlie, and torch the whole rotten system. Simple, right? One misstep though, and we’re toast. Alien breach. Apocalypse. End scene.
If I fail, the darkness won’t stop until it swallows us whole. Available to pre-order now in eBook, with other editions to follow, you can guarantee yoru copy here.
Out now from author Jay Bower and Shadow Forest Publishing, The Burden of Life
Haunted by a past he can’t escape, Joe Speight finds himself trapped in a horrifying legacy that threatens to consume him and everyone he loves.
After the traumatic events in Willow Falls, Joe sought refuge in the anonymity of college life, desperately trying to bury the darkness that lingers within him. But when his grandmother Ruth ends up in the hospital, he’s drawn back to the town where it all began. Once there, he’s forced to confront a vengeful spirit and the insatiable hunger that threatens to break him.
As Joe delves deeper into his family’s twisted history, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that shake him to his core. The talisman he wears, crafted from a severed finger meant to protect him, turns into a symbol of the monster he’s become. With each passing day, the line between his humanity and the creature within blurs, leaving him teetering on the edge of madness.
Will Joe break free from the curse that binds him, or will he succumb to the darkness that threatens to devour his soul? Available now in eBook, hardcover and paperback editions, you can pick up your copy here.
