The Ticking Dark: A Supernatural Mystery Novella

A haunted investigator. A trail of bodies. And a countdown no one else can hear.

When a young man falls from the roof of a downtown office building, a strange smell clings to his body and a witness reports hearing a ticking sound just before he died. The police call it suicide. His mother insists otherwise.

Private investigator Severin Morán has spent years chasing the unexplained, but this case is different—and not just because the details echo the mysterious death of his own sister years ago.

As more victims appear, each marked by the same sulfuric stench and rhythmic ticking, Severin is drawn into a chilling pattern of death that no one else sees. The deeper he digs, the more he’s forced to question what’s real, what’s madness, and what’s been watching him all along.

For fans of Simone St. James and Jennifer McMahon, The Ticking Dark is a supernatural mystery where the past won’t stay buried, grief leaves a mark, and something is always watching from the shadows.
