Noah Archer, renowned neurosurgeon, works at the cutting edge of medical science and religion, researching the effects of spirituality on the brain. His current research study – The Enlightenment Project – promises breakthrough treatments for depression, addiction, and mental illness, and preliminary results are astounding. But after a late-night emergency surgery, Noah returns to his office to find Father Perry, a long time friend waiting for him, with a terrible warning. The Enlightenment Project may not be closing the door to the darkness at all … but instead letting it in.
The Hunting Dark
The house is waiting…
In the Amish countryside of Kentucky, there is a house. Everyone knows about it. They whisper about the things that happen there. Creepy things. Terrible things.
It would be better if they shouted: Run.
Just Released 2024! The highly anticipated sequel to The Enlightenment Project.
Two months ago, mother of two Pammie LaRue moved in with her beloved partner Conor. They ignored the knocks on the walls. Whispering voices. Water pooling, with no obvious leak.
Eight days ago, Conor went missing, without a trace. Unless you count the drag marks in the crawl space under the house . . .
Neurosurgeon Noah Archer doesn’t believe in ghosts, demons or haunted houses, and he’s no exorcist. Still, when Pammie pitches up on his doorstep late one night, children in tow, Noah helps. He enters the house. But in doing so, he’s made a terrible mistake. Because once the darkness has its claws in you, it won’t let go . . .
