Anathema: Legacy

Anathema Series, Book 2

By: Nick Roberts

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

Derrick Stockton is in his mid-twenties, approaching three years sober, and working a stable job in Ohio. After surviving the seemingly random horrors of his childhood at the hands of a sinister neighbor, he believes he's finally moved on.

All that changes when a brutal murder occurs in his home state of West Virginia. His name is written in blood at the crime scene, and the only evidence is a blurry surveillance video offering a glimpse of the killer, one he knows to be long dead.

As the people closest to him are targeted by a mysterious figure, he works with state police to stop the growing body count. With the help of his support group, Derrick must confront the demons of his past to save his life and his sanity.

Captivating plot

Went in blind, never read the first one, was immensely surprised! Great story with the right amount of gore. It felt as tho I were watching a great horror film.

Creepy, horrifying, moving, and somehow hopeful.

Nick has a history of crafting complex and relatable characters in his published works. this was by far the most beautifully crafted of his stories. It's not often gore, abject terror, childhood trauma, addiction, and generational healing fit so seamlessly into one story, but it did in this one. As always, looking forward to the next.

this series should be a movie

this is masterful horror. I was at the edge of my seat until the very end

5 stars

Nick is the master of modern horror and never disappoints! Everything he writes is 5 stars without fail

Daisy came with Vengeance

Kind of felt like the first, but with a new Derrick in a little girl and a Daisy that killed with no sorrow! Daisy def was a bit more terrifying this go round!
