Jacob

by Mark D. Campbell

To the outside world, author Jacob Matheson appears to have it made. With numerous bestsellers under his belt, a lavish house, and a sizable bank account, he lives a lifestyle that most could only dream about. Yet despite outwardly appearances, Jacob is a troubled soul whose only glimmer of happiness sits at the bottom of a glass. Then, after a night of lavish celebration, Jacob wakes up to discover that he can’t remember the events from the night before. Soon his seemingly perfect life starts to unravel as fast as his fragile sanity. Haunted and tormented nightly by two ghostly and demonic entities, the lines between reality and fantasy blur. Surrounded by people who don’t believe his claims, Jacob remains determined to get to the bottom of what is happening. But as the psychological anguish and physical attacks become more and more horrific and gruesome, can he still trust himself when he starts to question his own sanity?

Reviews

[Tammy K. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I finished a reread of this so I could post an amazon review during its relaunching this week (New publisher).
I have to say even though I knew how it was going to turn out, the thrilling chase and mystery was still there.
I just loved this one.

If you're looking for an exciting psychological thriller, with lots of twists and scary scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then this book is the one to read.
Following a night of drinking, Jacob wakes to find that he holds little memory of the previous night. The blood on his hands, his soiled clothing and a brief flash back gives him enough insight to know that something bad has happened, but exactly what?
This story kept me guessing right along with Jacob, regarding what is real and who to trust. Was Jacob in the middle of a nervous breakdown? Were his friends setting him up? Was a demon really haunting Jacob?
I highly recommend this book to readers of Horror and Psychological thrillers.
