J. K. Maddox

In the heart of the decaying South, a forgotten chapel sits buried beneath the weight of sermons long silenced—and sins never confessed. Father Mallory once believed his faith could hold back the rot creeping into his church, his town, his soul. But when a girl vanishes after seeking his help and salt begins to pour from the walls like bleeding memories, he’s forced to confront a truth he buried beneath altar and oath.

Through fraying journal entries and unraveling recollections, the story slips between grace and guilt, piety and paranoia. The deeper he digs into the chapel’s past, the louder the silence grows—until the ghosts of the forgotten rise not with screams, but with questions.

What does it mean to be the voice of salvation when no one is listening?

What if the dead were never waiting to be saved—just heard?

Haunting, atmospheric, and psychologically gripping, "Whispers, Sin" is a Southern Gothic tale of spiritual decay, buried truths, and the lies we wrap in prayer. When memory becomes salt and silence becomes prophecy, how far will one man go to rewrite the ending of a story that was never his to tell?

Are you sure the voice in the confessional is your own?

This novel is part of REVERB!, an interconnected collection of standalone supernatural thrillers.

In REVERB!, twelve standalone supernatural thrillers unravel the dark space between the spoken and the unspeakable. Each story drops you into a different haunted setting—abandoned houses, cursed forests, forgotten towns—where a single whisper sparks a chilling unraveling of truth, memory, and fate.

From grieving parents and haunted investigators to broken lovers and trapped strangers, every protagonist faces a unique descent into the unknown. These aren’t just ghost stories. They’re psychological collisions, where what’s buried doesn’t stay buried, and what speaks in the dark may not want to be understood—only obeyed.

With atmospheric suspense, slow-burning dread, and unforgettable twists, this series pulls you to the edge and dares you to listen. Because once the whisper starts, it never stops.
