    A thriller that's got some humor—until it doesn't. Then it becomes your worst nightmare. 
Elgin Thomas thought Vietnam would be his escape. Running from a troubled past and horrific nightmares that won't let him sleep, this unlikely hero finds himself deep in the heart of Vietnam's central highland district. 
Thrust into a corrupt society consumed by chaos and injustice, Elgin discovers that war extracts a price steeper than he ever imagined. The combat is brutal. The choices are impossible. And the nightmares? They're just getting started. 
During a clandestine mission in Cambodia's deadly killing fields, Elgin comes face-to-face with the dreaded Khmer Rouge. Confronted by his own mortality he faces an impossible choice: abandon his mission and flee, or stay and fight a battle he cannot win. 
When Elgin is fatally wounded, a bad situation spirals into the unthinkable. What happens next defies explanation—a psychological thriller that transcends the boundaries between life and death, sanity and madness. This YA fantasy fiction with horror elements plunges readers into a bone-chilling depiction of war's realities and a horrifying glimpse into the afterlife, haunting you long after the final page. 
Beyond Gehenna: Tour of Duty is the explosive first volume of a two-part series—a thriller in 2026 that grabs you from the opening line and doesn't let go. Part war story, part supernatural mystery, this rollercoaster ride barrels toward a surprise ending you won't see coming. 
Perfect readers who devour psychological thriller books that blur the line between the living and the damned. 
Fair warning: Not your typical war story, this is what happens when a soldier's battle doesn't end at death—it only gets darker.

    Mississippi, 1927. The groanings are coming. 
 
No town is perfect, but East Cobb comes close. It's a wealthy all-Black Free Town―untouched by white oppression―where ambitious Thea Elliot and her husband plan to make good on their big dreams. Little do they know that the idyllic town teems with ghoulish, walking nightmares . . . that only the women can see. 
 
Marah knows the groanings well. She is one of the carriers―women with the ability to pull traumatic memories from men. Populated by men entirely freed of their pain, East Cobb has flourished, even as the remnants of their memories haunt the town's women. When an unexpected death drives Marah to discover more about her own power, Thea's and Marah's worlds collide. The sisters must confront the rotten core at the heart of East Cobb's prosperity and choose what―and who―will survive the reckoning. 
 
A gripping blend of historical fiction and Southern gothic psychological horror, Our Sister's Keeper is a fierce exploration of Black sisterhood, rage, and resistance.
