About this audiobook
What if your next story was a murder? And you were just the typist?
Washed-up author Leo Ashe is one eviction notice away from oblivion. Desperate to break a crippling writer's block, he spends his last hundred dollars on a vintage typewriter—The Olympian. It’s his final, desperate hope.
But that night, the machine begins to type by itself, clacking out a gruesome murder story in the dark. Leo’s terror turns to ice-cold horror the next morning when the news reports a real-life killing that matches the story, detail for chilling detail.
The Olympian isn't just predicting death. It's writing it into reality.
Now, the cursed machine has a new target: someone Leo knows. Every attempt to intervene, to be the hero, only twists the narrative, casting him as the prime suspect in a series of impossible crimes.
The Reality Draft is a standalone story within the Leland Grave's Shadow Shelf, a series of chilling supernatural tales.
