Something Stirs

Haunted North Carolina Coast

Some houses are only haunted...

                                This one is worse

Ben Chalmers is a successful novelist. His wife, Rachel, is a fledgling artist with a promising career, and their daughter Stacy is the joy of their life. His novels have made enough money for him to provide a dream home for his family. 

But there is a force at work in their lives. A dark, chilling, ruthless force that has become part of the very fabric of their new home. 
 
A malevolent entity becomes trapped in the wood and stone of the house and it will do whatever it takes, to find a way to complete its bloody transference to our world.

We spend most of our lives in a familiar world full of sunlight, comfortable twilight, and darkness filled with the sounds of nightbirds, crickets, and perfumed with honeysuckle and lilac.

But there are other places. There's a place where a family stands beside the grave of a beloved grandfather...with a shovel.

There's a place where a fictional creature is not as fictional as you have been led to believe. And it has been thinking about the future.

There's a place where the fate of The Lost Colony has finally been discovered, and things don't look good for the rest of humanity.

And there's a dinner party arranged for a group of strangers who are about to realize that their decisions have serious consequences.

From the Lost Colony to tales of pirate treasure guarded by the undead, the coast of North Carolina is a hotbed of tales of the supernatural.

Come with me and listen to tales of pirate ships manned by their undead crews. Or maybe you'd rather hear about the young woman who dreamed of a midnight sailing trip...in a white casket.

What is the story behind the hoofprints permanently planted at the edge of the woods in the town of Bath?

What are the lights that appear and disappear in the wods where the town of Dymond City used to be?

And who, or what, roams the corridors of the most decorated battleship of World War II: The USS North Carolina?

Come with me and I'll tell you these and other tales from North Carolina's haunted coast.

"Thomas is one of those outstanding Southern writers – seemingly soft, languid, maybe even lazy, when actually what he is, is cotton wrapped about a razor. Half the time you don't even know he's gotten you until it's too late."

                 – USA Today and NY Times Bestselling author, Charles L. Grant

“A creepy, slow burn of a haunted house tale. Proof that horror and faith belong—as in life—in the same story.”
—Tosca Lee, NY Times bestselling author of Demon: A Memoir
