About this audiobook
Black Shuck's Watch
When the Hound Stares, Death Follows.
Some legends don't die. They wait.
Across the lonely marshes, ancient churches, and fog-covered roads of East Anglia, a terrifying legend refuses to stay buried. They call it Black Shuck, a gigantic black hound with burning red eyes. According to centuries-old folklore, anyone who meets its gaze is marked for death.
When Detective Inspector Eleanor Marsh investigates a series of mysterious disappearances, brutal murders, and impossible crime scenes, she uncovers a chilling pattern that stretches back more than four hundred years. Every victim shares one horrifying connection: they all saw the black hound before they died.
As forgotten church records, cursed bloodlines, and ancient rituals emerge from the shadows, Eleanor realizes she is no longer investigating the legend; she has become part of it. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she discovers that Black Shuck is not merely a ghost or monster but an ancient force of judgment that has haunted generations.
Can she break a curse older than history itself, or will she become the hound's next watchman?
Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror, gothic suspense, supernatural mysteries, and British folklore, Black Shuck's Watch delivers relentless tension, haunting mythology, unforgettable characters, and shocking twists that will keep you turning pages long into the night.
If you enjoy dark folklore, paranormal investigations, haunted villages, cursed family secrets, eerie detective stories, and slow-burning psychological horror, this chilling novel belongs on your bookshelf.
Step into the mist... but remember one warning:
When the hound stares, death follows.

About the author
Prasanth N.M. is a novelist whose works explore the haunted thresholds between folklore, horror, and the fragile human heart. Known for weaving old legends into modern frames of crime, silence, and dread, he creates stories that walk the uneasy roads where myth bleeds into memory.
Born with a fascination for tales whispered at dusk and rural myths carried in half-forgotten songs, Prasanth has spent years studying the language of folklore and reshaping it into fiction that unsettles as much as it compels. His novels often dwell in landscapes that remember, where silence has weight and where fear is not a scream but a hush.
When not writing, he immerses himself in folklore research, old parish records, and folk belief archives, searching for ways the past still holds sway over our modern lives. Through his work, he aims to keep these stories alive, not as relics of history, but as living shadows that still walk among us.
Black Shuck’s Watch is one such story: a novel born of East Anglia’s oldest horror and retold through the voices of those who find themselves trapped in its gaze.
Prasanth N.M. continues to write across horror, folklore, and myth, inviting readers into places where the line between legend and life grows dangerously thin.
