Crypt T - The Past Never Forgets Its Dead

J. K. Maddox

Sinossi

When Marsh, a reluctant historian, agrees to lead a reenactment tour at the long-abandoned Gallowmere Prison, he expects nothing more than cold stone, urban legends, and a paycheck. But from the moment he unlocks the gate, something is wrong. The air tastes like memory. The corridors rearrange themselves. The guests begin to vanish.

Among them is Alma, a trauma counselor with eyes too knowing and a voice that stirs something buried in Marsh's bones. As cryptic letters appear in his own handwriting—dated 1871—and lost hours stretch into black holes, Marsh begins to question the boundaries of identity, time, and truth.

The prison doesn't just hold echoes. It remembers.

And it’s been waiting for him.

With each step into Gallowmere’s decaying wings, Marsh is drawn deeper into a labyrinth of forgotten crimes, false names, and the unraveling of everything he thought was real.

But some stories don’t stay buried.

Some names were never meant to be erased.

And some prisons were never built to contain the guilty…

Who was Marsh before the door opened?

And what will he become when the stone starts breathing again?

MORI - The Lost Ones Volume 1

Michael Seagard

Blending supernatural intrigue with existential mystery, MORI is a haunting story of vanished friends, cryptic messages, and the fragile boundary between reality and the unknown. 
When four friends vanish without a trace, all that remains is a logbook kept by Mori, a troubled man suspected of their disappearance. His entries reveal a life steeped in regret and self-medication, until a disembodied voice calls out from “across the Cosmic Gulf,” imploring him to help find a missing woman. 
Fearful he’s losing his grip on reality, Mori embarks on an otherworldly investigation through modern Los Angeles, chasing cryptic symbols and bizarre phenomena, with fleeting moments of wry humor that underscore the deeper emotional stakes at play. Drawn into his quest are an enigmatic neighbor—a radiant yet haunted woman—and her eclectic circle of friends. Each has their own reasons for joining Mori’s strange odyssey, yet none are prepared for the dark truths that await them. 
Their search leads to a labyrinthine realm of “high strangeness,” where time acts strangely and a mysterious entity seems to observe their every move. At the center of it all lies a sinister figure known only as The LA Lurker. 
Though it’s the first in The Lost Ones series, MORI can be enjoyed as a gripping standalone. 
“A thriller that grows stranger, creepier, and more magical throughout. MORI is one of a kind…thoroughly absorbing.” —IndieReader
