Tethered is out now!
Craig, a journalism graduate trying desperately to get a foothold in a fading industry, is going nowhere fast. While searching for a project to occupy himself, he stumbles across a blog written by a girl called Kami about internet rituals – challenges undertaken by those seeking to make contact with ghosts or other supernatural entities.
Craig becomes obsessed, and when Kami suddenly disappears he goes in search of her. From there he is powerless to prevent his life spiralling out of control as he is drawn deeper and deeper into a dark, dangerous world where nothing is quite what it seems, a world populated not just by urban myths and hearsay, but by real-life killers.
He thinks he is in control, but nothing can be further from the truth.
I was talking to a publisher about a different project when they said, “Aren’t you the guy who once write a book about Elisa Lam and the Cecil Hotel? What happened to that?”
They were referring to Tethered, a novella published a few years ago through a small press. And what happened to it was, the small press that published it went under, taking Tethered with it. Since then it was one of those things I kept meaning to go back to but never did. There was always something more important to do. As it had already been published I thought my only option would be to self-publish it, and that’s a giant pain in the ass. So it it sat gathering virtual dust on my hard drive until 13 Days Publishing came calling and asked if I wanted to re-publish it through them. Hell yeah, I did! And here we are. A slightly edited and updated version of Tethered, with stunning new cover art by Eric Ashmore.
This also marks my first release on Godless (an independent, horror-focused alternative publishing platform to KDP).
