Retirees Jodi and Martin have fled their home in Phoenix and absconded to a falling-down farmhouse on the edge of Navajo territory. They chose the remote location not for its peace and quiet, but to evade a malignant otherworldly entity named Pappaduffus who has been terrorizing Martin since childhood.
When a mysterious and catastrophic infection lands Martin in the ICU, his medical team traces his ailment to an absurd origin: the sting of a rare and deadly scorpion from the other side of the globe. Jodi suspects the work of Pappaduffus. As Martin's condition deteriorates, Jodi realizes she must confront her husband's demonic oppressor-and go through hell in the process-for any hope of pulling him back from the brink of death.
Find Your Way Back to Me packs an emotional punch of tension, dread, and unadulterated terror. It's everything you want in a horror story, though it is so much more than just that. I think 'perfect' is the word I was looking for. -Daemon Manx, author of Abigail and the Ojanox series
Find Your Way Back to Me takes us on a passionate, unsettling ride. Grab on tight for this one from Donahue, one of the best current voices in horror! -Carol Gyzander, Bram Stoker Award(R) recipient, Discontinue If Death Ensues: Tales from the Tipping Point
You don't just read Find Your Way Back to Me. You feel it, too. From the first chapter to the final page, this dark thriller generates a deliciously ominous mood as it tells a tale of a family and its ghostly secret. William J. Donahue has written a chilling and absorbing novel. He's one heck of a storyteller, and this is one heck of a book.
-Ken Jaworowski, Edgar-nominated author of Small Town Sins and What About the Bodies
Tense and chill-inducing, Find Your Way Back to Me is simultaneously thought provoking and creepy. With an immersive atmosphere and relatable, multidimensional characters, Donahue has cleverly crafted a thriller that explores the dangers of burying our traumas a bit too deep. Riveting from the first page to the last, Find Your Way Back to Me mixes gory details you can almost smell with satisfying social commentary spanning back to the Vietnam War. A compelling and fresh supernatural thriller.
-Diana Rodriguez Wallach, author of The Silenced, Hatchet Girls, and Small Town Monsters
A dark and intense novel that has as much heart, soul, and depth as it does thrills and chills, Find Your Way Back to Me should bring some deserved attention to author William J. Donahue and help cement him as one of the voices on the rise in dark fiction. This was my first time reading him, but it certainly won't be my last. -Greg F. Gifune, author of Smoke, in Crimson
