The Burn Pattern: A Spiral of Fire, Memory, and the Entity That Wants Charlotte Back
Some fires refuse to die.
Some awaken instead.
When a remote farmhouse in rural Vermont erupts into a violent inferno, everything about the scene defies logic. There is no lightning. No faulty wiring. No accelerant. No survivors. Only ash, silence, and a fire that seems to have chosen its moment.
But buried in the soot are three
A perfect, unburned circle carved into the floorboards.
A name—Ashcroft—whispered into the mind of a retired detective who has never heard a psychic voice in his life.
And a single word preserved on a half-burned parchment as if protected by intent.
Charlotte.
The Circle is dispatched, but what appears to be a bizarre arson case quickly unravels into something far older—and far more personal. Charlotte’s reflection has stopped following her. Her dreams ignite with visions she does not a woman named Vessa, smiling with stitched lips and hollow eyes, calling her by a name she’s sure she’s never had.
Across the country, fires begin erupting at sites tied to historic loss—each blaze aligning with a widening pattern traced across ancient ley lines. With every ignition, the spiral tightens. Something is gathering itself. Something that remembers what was taken from it.
This is not arson.
It is resurrection.
A psychic entity older than written language is stirring—a construct born from collective trauma and unfinished grief. It spreads through memory, feeding on loss, using fire as both signature and doorway. And with each new flare, Charlotte feels another presence rising within her, mirroring her movements, her breath, her voice.
Becoming her.
As Marin decodes the pattern, Eliza hears voices muttering through walls, and the team races to contain a phenomenon that shouldn’t exist, Charlotte confronts visions she never lived and a shadow-self she cannot escape. Each new discovery is worse than the
A chapel that ignites before anyone enters it.
A mirror that plays someone else’s memories.
A child who looks exactly like Charlotte—down to the last freckle.
A whispered warning woven through She is not Vessa anymore.
Everything converges in Ash Hollow, Oregon—the spiral’s final point and the place where Charlotte must confront a truth that could unmake her. If she reaches the center, she may not return as herself. If she refuses, what waits on the other side of the fire will burn its way into the world through her anyway.
The Burn Pattern is a haunting supernatural thriller of identity, memory, and ancient psychic resurgence—perfect for readers who crave atmospheric dread, occult mystery, and slow-burn psychological horror.
