Some books should never be opened.
Horror novelist Phillip Keagan has built his career on finding stories in places most people avoid-the abandoned buildings, forgotten tragedies, and whispered local legends that everyone else has learned to ignore.
When he returns to his hometown of Marion, Indiana, searching for inspiration, he discovers a crumbling church-house with a history no one can explain. Decades earlier, twelve members of a forgotten congregation died in their sleep on the same morning. Years later, thirteen more followed.
No murderer.
No disease.
No answers.
Only an aging caretaker who desperately warns Phillip to leave... and a mysterious leather-bound book written in a language that shouldn't exist.
He takes the book anyway.
The novel Phillip writes from its pages becomes an overnight bestseller. Critics call it terrifying. Readers call it unforgettable.
Then people begin to die.
Each victim falls asleep after finishing the novel.
Each dreams of the same endless hallway.
The same glowing EXIT sign.
The same thirteen-seat dining table.
The same patient man waiting in the darkness beyond the door.
As the death toll rises, Phillip realizes he didn't create the horror.
He published it.
Now the only way to stop an ancient evil is to return to the place where it began, descend into the nightmare he unleashed, and confront a force that has spent generations feeding on dreams, fear, and the souls of those who dare to open the wrong book.
Because some stories are never fiction.
And some books are still reading you.
Perfect for readers who love atmospheric supernatural horror, occult mysteries, psychological suspense, haunted houses, cosmic dread, and slow-burning paranormal thrillers, Somnus delivers an unforgettable descent into nightmares where the line between dreams and reality disappears.
Reader... you have already begun.
