J. K. Maddox

A man wakes in a village that should not exist.

No memory. No exit. No answers. The townspeople smile too easily and whisper too often. Every path loops back to the same quiet square. Every door leads nowhere—except maybe back to him.

As he struggles to piece together who he is and why he’s there, unsettling fragments of his past surface: a girl who cries in the dark, a house he doesn’t remember but somehow built, and a silence that echoes with something unspoken. The villagers offer no help. Only glances. Only murmurs. Only mirrors.

The more he searches, the more the village seems to shift with him—bending time, folding space, unraveling the line between guilt and memory. Are these people captives like him, or reflections of the man he used to be?

In a place where the roads curve inward and even your name can betray you, uncovering the truth means confronting the one thing he’s tried hardest to forget.

But what if the truth is the very reason he can never leave?

When the whispers finally speak your name... will you still claim to be innocent?

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.

REVERB!

The past doesn’t haunt you. It waits.
