Rumor

Truth hurts : Rumor kills

Synopsis

The People may forget their history, but the scarred land remembers.

An unprecedented surge in missing person reports triggers a wave of panic across the Gulf Coast near Houston, Texas. Strange sightings and frightened warnings ripple online and through the streets, leaving survivors uncertain of what's real... and what's rumor.

Whatever is happening, it's moving toward Houston.

As a panicked city sways on the edge of anarchy, police psychologist Iris Scanley and Detective Alex Mezo turn their attention to Professor Randolph Carter: the only missing person to return. His fractured revelations suggest an unbelievable global conspiracy steeped in science and mythic terror.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Its heart is Lovecraftian horror but set in modern day Texas. The characters are entirely relatable and you really empathize with them. The story builds nicely and then it's a roller coaster ride to the very end. And the end is something!"
