The Knowing

About The Knowing:

It starts with a school shooting…

It ends with the return of an evil as ancient as the bones of the universe.

When the hot call comes over the radio: “Code Red! Active shooter at Carlisle Elementary School,” Police Sergeant Jack Carpenter has only one job: find the gunman; take him out. Carpenter rushes into the school, fully armed and focused on cold, hard reality. But what happens to him there shatters the world as he knew it. And in the next three days, everything Jack Carpenter believes about himself, about reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe will be challenged.

Can it possibly be true—seriously?—that invisible demons prowl among us?

That a winged creature more horrifying than any Hollywood-animated, computer-generated, mechanical unreality, exist?

And that the single-minded mission of the beast—a creation of absolute, soul-less evil—is to kill Jack Carpenter?

That’s crazy! Fairy-tale-science-fiction-horror-movie-bogeyman crap!

Bottom line: it flat-out cannot possibly be true.

But it is.

The Woman I Befriended

About The Woman I Befriended:

“You should know who is living in your neighborhood.

I happen to think we might be living across the street from a serial killer.

As neighbors, we should probably know that.” – Ellie

_____________

As Ellie observes the strange routine and behavior of the woman across the street, her curiosity sets in. Whenever a guy goes into her neighbor’s house, they never leave.

Ellie’s only conclusion: the woman must be a serial killer.

But Ellie has a past of exaggerating, so she has to tread carefully.

When she looks into her town’s disappearances, her suspicions deepen. Several men are reported missing, but for a relatively small town, why isn’t anybody talking about it? And why is she noticing connections in the disappearances that are strikingly odd to her neighbor?

Soon, Ellie becomes fully invested in secretly investigating the woman across the street.
Even if it means befriending her. And also deceiving her own husband.

Are Ellie’s suspicions right about her neighbor? Or is she imagining it all?
