Outward: A 60-Minute Psychological Horror

by Dan DeLuise, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

In this Black Mirror style series, each Witching Hour 60-minute read takes you on an edge-of-your-seat journey that can be read in a single sitting.
In Outward, we follow the life of Robby Boulder, a teenage addict who is forced to attend a new-age, walk-in-the-woods-style rehab. After the death of his father the previous year, he found himself in the throes of addiction. Then, late one evening, he woke up to a figure in his room, shaking him awake. The man dragged him into his van with three other troubled teens, promising salvation for the price of one week in the woods.

But, once Robby and his fellow addicts hit the trail, they realize they've been lied to. Although Robby began his journey trying to better his life, the mission quickly changes. Now, he must make it out alive.

About the author

Hi. My name’s Dan. I’m a #1 Best-Selling Amazon Author and an avid consumer of all things creepy. I have been writing stories my whole life, but only started sharing them with the world during the pandemic when I discovered the NoSleep subreddit. Since then, I have continued to evolve those stories, turning them into full Amazon series, podcasts, and a scary story substack called "Sunday Scaries: Dan DeLuise's Scary Story Club". Currently, I have four series available on Amazon: The Other Place Trilogy (Dark Fantasy), The Witching Hour (Horror Thriller Novellas), Five-Minute Frights (Scary Stories), and Gather Round (A Horror Anthology). In my free time, I like to hike, watch movies, and draw portraits of my cat "Spooky".
