Call Us If You Get Possessed

A Darkly Comic Paranormal Horror Novella

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A fast-paced, darkly comic novella, full of devilish phenomena, conspiracy theories, and paranoia.

From Chris Burton comes Call Us if You Get Possessed, a fast-paced, darkly comic horror-comedy novella, full of mysteries, devilish paranormal phenomena, conspiracy theories, and paranoia.

"The job was dangerous, physically, but even more so mentally. The office was a protected area, though it was impossible to cover every attack surface. Despite the safety measures, in rare instances, the phenomenon could spread from the caller, through the wires, radio waves, and cell towers, straight to the other side of the phone call."

During an unfortunate way home, Samantha becomes a witness to something she should have never seen. Now, she has no choice but to take a job at a call centre that aims to help people with paranormal problems.

After failing to handle a particularly unsettling call, Samantha discovers that whatever was haunting her caller has now latched onto her. She's in grave danger and all alone in this mess.
