What happens when the movie starts watching you?

Disgraced celebrity biographer Don Ruby’s life has hit the skids. When he’s offered a contract with a reputable publishing house, he’s sure there’s been a misunderstanding. When he goes to clear things up with the actual writer in question, Don finds him dead of apparent suicide. On impulse, he pockets the man’s notes and embarks on the writing project himself—a biography of a once-famous director of B-rated horror films, Victor Hudson. To be more specific, Hudson’s legendary lost movie, "The Unveiling".

The more Don learns about the film, the more disassociated he becomes from reality. Disturbing visions encroach on his every waking thought. He’s sure he’s being possessed, becoming a stranger inside his own head. But with the progress he’s making, he can’t stop now. After hours of research and countless interviews with Hudson’s surviving collaborators, Don begins unearthing pieces of the truth—including Hudson’s ties to an obscure cult from the 1960s.

It’s only the beginning. The cult is far from extinguished, and somehow Don is slowly being dragged into the depths of half- seen horrors. There’s something that wants to be reborn… and it needs Don to do it.

Damir is the author of two story collections, four novels, and short stories featured in multiple horror and speculative fiction magazines and anthologies.

He lives in Virginia with his wife and a dynamic duo of cats. When not writing fiction, he reviews horror movies, discusses books, and shares his unsolicited opinions on just about everything on his blog, Darker Realities.
