Beschreibung

Morgan Knight, law enforcement widow, security company owner and sheriff’s department consultant on occult activities, has her vacation interrupted by her mother, who is determined to track down the source of the unusual grimoire that was found during Morgan’s previous adventure.
 
Just as the search heats up, her estranged brother Eric contacts her for the first time in twenty years and asks for her help in uncovering what exactly is going on in his new house. He refuses to believe it is haunted, despite evidence to the contrary.
 
Morgan has friends to call on to help her solve the mystery of her brother’s house, but when she uncovers a cult’s instructions on how to perform human sacrifice during the Solstice, local law enforcement dismisses her claims. As the Solstice grows ever nearer, Morgan feels impelled to stop the ceremony... no matter the cost.
 
The second book in Jo Beekman's Morgan Knight Mysteries series, 'Faded Children' is a look at how mystery can touch even the most ordinary of people, and how uncovering secrets can be dangerous... and maybe even deadly.

    A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN. 
     
     
     
    When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands. 
     
     
     
    It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death. 
     
     
     
    Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind. 
     
     
     
    But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers. 
     
     
     
    And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear. 
     
     
     
    A monster she once called Daddy.

    Title: The Man of the Crowd 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1840 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series: Timeless Terrors 
    Number: 98 
    Description: 
    The Man of the Crowd is a haunting exploration of urban isolation, obsession, and the inscrutable depths of the human soul. The story follows an unnamed narrator convalescing in a London coffeehouse, who becomes fixated on a mysterious old man glimpsed through the window. Compelled by an inexplicable fascination, he follows the stranger through the teeming streets of the city—through markets, alleys, theaters, and slums—only to discover that the man cannot endure solitude and seems condemned to wander endlessly among the masses. 
    Unlike tales driven by overt horror, The Man of the Crowd derives its unease from psychological pursuit and existential mystery. Poe masterfully portrays the modern city as both spectacle and labyrinth—a place where anonymity conceals hidden truths and where proximity does not equal connection. The old man remains unreadable, a living cipher who embodies what the narrator calls “the type and the genius of deep crime,” yet whose secret is never revealed. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Poe’s atmosphere of restless movement and mounting obsession, drawing listeners into a nocturnal journey through shadowed streets and crowded thoroughfares. The Man of the Crowd endures as a foundational work of psychological fiction—where the greatest mystery lies not in what is seen, but in what can never be fully known.
