Cusala

by Jack Freestone

A sinister presence. A cursed child. A battle for the soul.

When a reckless law student and his sharp-witted friend Ann cross paths with Bernard—a drunken stranger who claims to be the Antichrist—their curiosity leads them down a chilling path of terror and obsession. But Bernard is only the beginning. In the shadows lurks Ruby Pearson, a teenage girl with a heart of darkness and a taste for chaos. Through her, something ancient and malevolent is Cusala—a demon that feeds on the weak and devours the faithful.

As the bodies mount and madness spreads, an enigmatic American exorcist named Mathew arrives, bringing with him a deadly resolve and a Cusala cannot be destroyed—only contained. But when evil seeks a new vessel, no one is safe, and no soul is beyond corruption.

From university flats to convent halls, from occult rituals to a final confrontation in a remote mine shaft, Cusala weaves a pulse-pounding tale of horror, faith, and the thin line between predator and prey.

Can humanity fight a monster born from its own darkest desires? Or will Cusala reign forever—through the flesh of the innocent?

Brace yourself for a gripping thriller where the battle between good and evil is anything but clear.

"A chilling, unputdownable blend of psychological horror and supernatural suspense—Cusala cements Jack Freestone as a master of modern terror." – Daily Telegraph NZ

I will begin by saying that I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Freestone. I think that there was something lost in the narration. I think the story was good and I probably would have enjoyed reading it much more than listening. No offense Jack, I narrated one of my short stories and decided against publishing the audio because, as well as I know the story I am not a professional narrator.
