Final Chapter

Jason R. Cash

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Bestselling author John Riley has made a career out of turning quiet Alabama towns into the backdrops for unforgettable nightmares. His novels sell by the hundreds of thousands, and his name draws long lines at book signings. But the stories he creates on the page have consequences beyond ink and paper. Neighbors curse him for turning their houses into tourist attractions. Strangers confront him in restaurants. Fans linger too close, blurring the line between admiration and obsession. 
When John finishes his latest and most ambitious novel, he hopes the story will be just another addition to his growing shelf of successes. But the moment he steps away from his desk, the shadows in his fiction begin to bleed into his own life. What starts as uncomfortable encounters escalates into a chilling sense that someone has decided to make John the character in a story he never wanted to write. 
Final Chapter is a taut, atmospheric thriller that weaves the love of family, the burden of success, and the creeping danger of blurred boundaries into a story that asks: what happens when the monsters we imagine refuse to stay on the page?
