Fear the Duck
A novel by Azalea
Aaron Youngblood didn't plan to get caught. One impulsive night, one act of defiance, and suddenly he's the kid who tagged the front of the school with something no one can stop talking about-or fully explain. The paint is gone, but the questions won't fade.
Now Aaron's stuck doing community service under watchful eyes, just trying to keep his head down. But that's not so easy at Woodrow Wilson High, a school where pep rallies feel like ceremonies and the Fighting Duck mascot is more than just school spirit-it's a legacy, a role, a burden.
Everyone's smiling. Everyone's cheering. But something isn't right.
As Aaron is pulled deeper into school traditions he never asked to be part of, he starts to feel a shift in the halls around him-and in himself. Whispers. Glances. A pressure that grows heavier the more he resists. He doesn't know what's happening. Only that it's old. And it's watching.
Tense, atmospheric, and laced with biting wit, Fear the Duck is a slow-burning descent into the strange and the symbolic, where teenage rebellion collides with something much older-and far more demanding-than anyone wants to admit.
Azalea lives in Augusta with his wife and a small, opinionated collection of cats who tend to believe they run the household. When he's not rambling with friends or immersed in long sessions of Dungeons & Dragons, he spends his time exploring the emotional edges of storytelling-writing narratives that aim to unsettle, connect, and linger long after the final page.
His work is driven by a fascination with how stories shape perception, identity, and the quiet undercurrents of everyday life. Drawn to the strange, the tense, and the introspective, Azalea leans into fiction as a way to examine both the seen and unseen forces that influence who we are.
Fear the Duck is his debut novel, marking the beginning of a body of work that will continue to explore psychological tension, layered meaning, and the power of narrative to transform the ordinary into something unforgettable.
