Behind bars, the game begins.
Malcolm is convicted of a crime he can't remember committing. Locked in a prison cell, he hears voices-three companions that are not real, yet not entirely imagined. Paranoia whispers that everyone is watching. Delusion promises there's a way out. Dissociation urges him to surrender to the darkness.
As days collapse into nights, reality begins to split. The walls close in. Fellow inmates vanish. Games of Hangman are carved into the concrete, but no one admits to playing. The deeper Malcolm listens to the voices, the more their game becomes his only truth.
Is Malcolm losing his mind...or has something inside the prison chosen him as its next victim?
Disturbing, claustrophobic, and impossible to forget, Where Despair Comes to Play is a psychological horror novel that drags readers into the shadows of isolation, madness, and the terrifying possibility that the worst prison is the one built inside your head.
