Book One of the Echoes of the Guilty Series
By Tobey Alvarez
Bellhaven was supposed to forget.
Three years after sixteen-year-old Darius King took his own life following relentless bullying, corruption, and institutional neglect, the town buried the truth beneath paperwork, silence, and lies.
Until the dead came back.
When beloved principal Harold Bennett suffers a horrifying public breakdown inside Bellhaven High, investigative journalist Naomi Velez arrives expecting another coverup.
What she finds instead is impossible.
Teachers begin dying violently after seeing a dead student walking the halls.
Police officers witness ghostly recreations of hidden crimes.
Survivors are forced to relive the moments they ignored suffering.
And every haunting follows one terrifying rule:
The ghosts only target the guilty.
As Naomi, Dr. Malachi Graves, and Selene Ortega uncover decades of buried abuse tied to Bellhaven and a forgotten juvenile detention center, they realize the phenomenon spreading across the country is not random.
The dead are no longer staying buried.
And they are making people answer for what they've done.
Dark, brutal, emotional, and terrifyingly grounded, The Dead Keep Score is a supernatural horror thriller about guilt, institutional corruption, and the horrifying cost of ignoring suffering until it's too late.
Perfect for readers who love:
- grounded supernatural horror
- emotional ghost stories
- investigative thrillers
- brutal psychological tension
- morally complex horror
- small-town secrets and conspiracies
- terrifying hauntings with real emotional stakes
The dead are not haunting the innocent.
They are haunting the responsible.
