The Devil Inside
Not yet published
Expected 15 Mar 26When Julie Simmons returns to her family’s remote cabin, she’s searching for silence but the house remembers more than she does. Walls hum with voices, mirrors hesitate, and her father, Frank, a man devoted to science and proof, watches in quiet horror as his daughter begins to speak in a voice that should not exist.
What begins as a haunting becomes something far more a legacy of obsession born in the shadow of Chicago’s Murder Castle, where a killer learned to turn flesh into data and memory into machinery. As the past reasserts itself through hidden ledgers, buried tunnels, and recorded breaths, Julie is drawn into a design that refuses to end.
To break the cycle, she must descend into places where light cannot reach, where history does not stay buried and the Devil is no longer a man, but an idea that survives through memory, ritual, and inheritance.
The Devil Inside Me is a gothic, slow-burn psychological horror novel that blends possession, historical evil, and emotional dread. Elegant, unsettling, and relentless, it explores temptation, redemption, and the terrifying cost of remembering what was never meant to survive.
