What I Set Free

Josh Cox is eighteen, restless, and trying to make sense of a life that already feels heavier than it should. He has a mother who works too hard, a best friend who never grew up, and a girl he has never stopped caring about.

But when an ancient curse begins to surface, the ordinary world around him starts to fracture. Strange events become impossible to ignore. People he loves are pulled into danger. And something old, patient, and cruel begins pressing against the edges of reality.

As Josh searches for answers, he discovers that some doors were never meant to be opened, and some forces do not want freedom. They want to consume.

What I Set Free is a horror novel about ancient evil, grief, guilt, friendship, and the terrible cost of awakening what should have stayed buried.
