SHADOWS REBORN: When Darkness Returns to Hollow Creek
(The Hollow Creek Series, Book 2 of 5)
The Follow up to Shadows Within by Bestselling Author S. Payton
Two years ago, the terrifying secrets of Hollow Creek, Indiana, were exposed in Shadows Within, launching S. Payton to the bestseller lists.
The town found a fragile peace. The nightmare was over. The silence returned.
But in Hollow Creek, the whispers of the past are never truly silenced. The peace has fractured.
Two years after the serial killings that nearly destroyed him, Chris's life is ripped apart by an unwelcome visit from Detective Sarah Williams. A suffocating blanket of dread has fallen over the town, punctuated by a rash of sinister animal mutilations and the unexplained vanishing of three women.
The signs point to something far older and more insidious than any human killer. The police are out of leads, but Sarah knows who to call. Chris, the only man tormented by an unwanted psychic gift, is the only one who can see what crawls in the shadows.
What he unearths is a sinister symphony: an ancient malevolence known as Keturah... the forgotten hunger... a dark force that demands a bloody ritual of appeasement. Forced to confront a horror far deeper than he'd ever imagined, Chris must embrace his destiny as the Chosen One, knowing that the fate of Hollow Creek rests on his scarred and bloodied shoulders.
If you crave the small-town terror of Stephen King and the psychic-powered thrillers of Dean Koontz, delve back into the shadows where a new, ancient nightmare has just begun to unfold.
S. Payton: Turning Mid-Life Crises into Mid-Air Thrillers
S. Payton, a small-town Indiana boy with an eclectic resume that reads like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, has traded in airline turbulence for literary suspense. Though not a typical sci-fi fan, Payton's fascination with AI has led him to pen his debut novel, 'Ghost in the Machine: Human Consciousness Hangs in the Balance' - a techno-thriller that will leave you questioning your Wi-Fi password.
Hailing from Paoli, Indiana, Payton's journey to authorship has been anything but ordinary. After graduating from Ball State University, he bounced from radio DJ to commercial airline pilot, with a few pit stops in sales along the way. The pandemic grounded his aviation career, but ignited a passion for writing that even his high school English teachers wouldn't have predicted.
With a stack of unpublished novels gathering dust, Payton is unleashing his storytelling prowess upon the world, one fast-paced thriller at a time. His debut novel promises a wild ride, blending cutting-edge technology with timeless human dilemmas. Get ready to experience S. Payton's unique blend of humor, suspense, and a little bit of Indiana charm.
P.S. If you see him on a plane, don't panic. He's probably just plotting his next novel.
