Paint the Silence

The Bayou keeps its secrets, but some bleed through.

Ruston Bock has a gift he never wanted: visions of death that strike without warning, leaving him raw, broken, and desperate to drown them in alcohol. When his girlfriend vanishes and her body surfaces in the swamp, Ruston becomes the prime suspect. But his psychic glimpses insist the truth is darker than anyone can imagine.

Drawn into the orbit of Detective Trinity Foyer, Ruston begins to unravel a trail that leads from New Orleans’ haunted streets to the decaying mansions of the powerful Granger family. There, shadows breed monsters—both human and not. Wolves stalk the night, bats tear through the sky, and at the center of it all stands Logan Granger: a predator with secrets carved into his bones, and a hunger that makes him both ally and executioner.

As bodies mount and visions sharpen, Ruston discovers the killings are only fragments of a much greater horror: a hidden fortress where faith is twisted into tyranny, silence is enforced with blood, and obedience is demanded at any cost. To stop it, he must face his curse head-on—and risk becoming the very thing he fears.

Lush with Southern Gothic atmosphere and unflinching in its brutality, Paint the Silence is a descent into cult horror, supernatural terror, and the corrosive power of secrets. Some silences should never be broken… but this one will burn.
