Leo Mercer is a man on the edge, divorced, disgraced, and drowning his guilt in bourbon and late-night television. But when a cursed broadcast hijacks his screen at exactly 3:39 a.m., Leo becomes the unwilling audience to a series of horrors that reach far beyond fiction. The footage is brutal, visceral, and disturbingly familiar, drawing Leo back to a secret he and five friends buried deep in the jungles of Brazil.
As the days blur and the curse tightens its grip, Leo’s reality fractures. Visions haunt him. Shadows move. And every night, the broadcasts grow more personal, more violent, until the truth behind Channel 39 threatens to consume him, body and soul.
A relentless, atmospheric descent into madness, Channel 39: Book One – Leo is the start of a new horror series where the past won’t stay buried, the static never sleeps, and every viewer risks becoming the next victim.
Leave the TV on at your own risk. Channel 39 is waiting.

If you would have told me I would pick this up going in blind I would have laughed. I grabbed this and was like eh what's the harm i need a quick read. When I say I was shocked and drawn in and now my brain is fried but in the best way. This story was wild from start to finish and i loved ever damn second. Now I need the rest of the series.
