Gothic: The End
Not yet published
Expected 27 Apr 27USA Today bestselling author and Bram Stoker nominee, Philip Fracassi, returns to the world of GOTHIC in this brutal sequel to a cult favorite, in which world-famous author Kelly (K.C.) Cooper acquires an antique desk that conjures hell on and off the page.
After a heart-wrenching divorce, author Kelly Cooper and her two children are the proud owners of a new home in New York’s Hudson Valley. While furnishing the house, Kelly comes across a weathered, ancient desk that, despite its rundown appearance, she knows she cannot live without.
But there’s a sliver of darkness inside Kelly—a part of herself she’s tried to repress over the years, to bury deep within her subconscious. Soon, however, the malevolent force of the desk brings that darkness to the surface, poisoning and infesting Kelly’s world, her mind, her heart. And when the true story of the desk is revealed—a blood-soaked history that reaches back centuries—it is Kelly, and those she loves, who will either pay the price for its heritage, or finish things once and for all.
One of the most exciting names in horror, Philip Fracassi will take readers through the dizzying heights and deadly pitfalls of artistic creation, warped and driven by the malicious power of an ancient evil. In the world of GOTHIC, no one can escape the hand they’re dealt.
Every story, one way or another, must have an end.
