Malignant

About

A ghost story for the ages. Callie Bellingham needs to break away. For years she has been obsessed with a man whom she rejected for social appearances, a man she tried to ruin to keep from admitting her love for him. Her guilt plagues her endlessly. That is until Lawrence Schlimme appears, suspiciously at the most opportune time. A seemingly traditional, Christian man, like the ones she has known her whole life, Lawrence has some dark secrets. Is he her path to forgetting her past and finding a new life, or is he a grave mistake?

Praise for this book

"A grim and memorable read. The narrative style is denser than I’m used to but works so well with what is a deep and unsettling dive into the psychology of a deranged pervert and his unfortunate mark. The author clearly knows what he is doing and delivers the chills with expert precision. Bravo."

"A haunting ghost story that begins as a psychological thriller and descends into a chilling supernatural mystery—one that challenges our understanding of what the world allows. This is a tale that lingers long after the final page, raising more questions than it answers and daring readers to glance over their shoulder. Uilleam Whitedale is a masterful storyteller, known for crafting eerie, immersive settings and emotionally layered characters. His fascination with the hazy threshold between the real and the unreal allows him to build narratives that are as intellectually provocative as they are unsettling. His work consistently explores the fragile boundaries of perception, making him a distinctive voice in modern supernatural fiction."
