About this audiobook

Daniel thought the horrors he conjured were confined to his manuscripts. He was wrong. In the biting cold of the Northern Wisconsin woods, the boundary between fiction and reality has dissolved, leaving him marked by a pulsing spectral ink that hums with a dangerous, tethered power. To protect his daughter, Daniel has forged a desperate pact with Kane—a mysterious entity who grants him spectral abilities but demands a heavy price. Now, pursued by "Editors"—malevolent entities seeking to rewrite his life into a tragedy—Daniel must command spectral hounds and wield the very ink beneath his skin to keep the darkness at bay. One wrong word could end it all. One misplaced sentence could lose him his daughter forever. The Author's Curse is a chilling, dark fantasy thriller that explores the ferocity of a father's love and the terrifying realization that some stories refuse to stay on the page.
