If you are just exploring Lee Wilson’s work, this is the book I would recommend to start with. Daniel James, a paranormal researcher, gets more than he bargained for after a horrific encounter in a haunted house. Manipulated into killing himself he instead wakes alive in a hospital. Five years later he mysteriously inherits the house, appalled he seeks to have it demolished but unable to afford this he burns it down instead. Unfortunately this is what the sinister forces had hoped for and he has unwittingly “unleashed a hell.” Can David and his coworkers get to what is behind the sinister forces that inhabited the house? Can they stop what he has released?
A really gripping story I couldn’t put it down. A great read.
Combine engaging dialogue, visceral descriptions, and a daemonically unique take on a murder house, and you have Outcasts. When an author can cycle me through disgust, amusement, and fascination within any few given pages, they've earned my patronage. Well done, good sir. I'm a fan.
