Publisher's summary

Grant is handsome, charismatic, and charming. He's also a horror novelist who's had moderate success in his craft. The only thing more attractive than the man is the fact that he actually wants to meet Amy's son, Bailey.

Bailey is independent for his age, as competent at caring for his own daily needs as most children twice his age, but overweight and ailed by a lack of personal confidence. His reservations about meeting a new man are evident in his resistance of his mother's demands, but soon he warms to the charming writer. Bailey sees an opportunity to gain not only a father, but a friend.

Months later, after Bailey and his mother have taken up residence with this new man, odd behaviors begin to emerge as Grant researches the basis for his new novel. It's a nonfiction manuscript, based on ghost stories originating at a local bar with a reputation for appearances from the other side. It's a good book with a good story behind it, but it's taking Grant down a path of hatred, violence, and ultimate destruction.

When Amy begins helping Grant with his editing, she too falls victim to the effects of prose, Bailey begins to receive a more brutal version of parenting. Now he's hungry, in pain, and afraid with little or no help in sight as the story being written in his home stops mirroring the events at a remote bar, and becomes the new terrorizing story of his life.

Libertine story and how it was narrated.

Was my first audio book and I feel I am now hooked. Can't wait for the next from Wayne.
