"Ibsen is a master of paranormal horror."-Kay Oliver, author of The Shattering
The static hisses. The darkness deepens. Bestseller Ambrose Ibsen invites you to stare into the shadows, though you may not like what you see...
Roommates obsessed with VHS tapes and nostalgia discover a mysterious unmarked tape containing disturbing footage of a veiled woman. A rare, haunting EP from a legendary band leads one superfan down a psychedelic rabbit hole of obsession and terror. A man is stalked by a strange, gray-skinned figure with black eyes during a rainy day in town. A life-saving heart transplant becomes a nightmare when the recipient inherits more than just an organ.
These tales and others will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading. In the flicker of your TV screen, the hum of your furnace, and the creak of the stairs, you’ll hear the call of the black static. And part of you will want to answer.
