Hushbone

A Southern Gothic Tale

De: David A Lambert

Narrado por: Shayne Campbell

It was never a church...it was a bound door.

(And something inside just got out).

Whistler’s Ridge, Georgia has always been a quiet place—tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, steeped in old traditions and older secrets. But when a brutal storm tears through the town, it does more than uproot trees—it unearths something the townsfolk never knew existed. Beneath the stone foundation of the town’s century-old church lies a hidden chamber.

And in that chamber…a book.

It’s ancient. Bound in cracked leather. Sealed in chains.

And it’s whispering.

When fifteen-year-old Sawyer Cray and his friends sneak into the wreckage to explore the damage, they uncover more than storm debris. Curiosity gives way to obsession when Sawyer opens the book—and unwittingly unleashes something dark, something hungry. An entity sealed away in 1873 by men who paid for their silence in blood.

Now the whispers are spreading.

Strange whispers plague the townspeople. Forgotten sins claw their way to the surface. And as the voices grow louder, so does the body count. Sheriff Del Rourke, weary and weathered but sharp as ever, begins to suspect the past never died—it was just waiting for the right host. And Father Gabriel Sorenson, new to the church and to the town, is about to learn the hard way that the ground he preaches on was never consecrated—it was quarantined.

As the line between reality and madness blurs, one thing becomes clear: The book was never meant to be opened. And Hushbone was never meant to be freed.

*Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Nick Cutter, and Southern Gothic horror that blends folklore with slow-burning dread, Hushbone is a chilling tale of possession, legacy, and the voices we were never meant to hear.
