About this ebook

The cure was supposed to save her mother. It gave her something else entirely.

When tragedy strikes, we search for answers. But sometimes the answers are more terrifying than the crime.

One year after the Galleria Massacre, society is still reeling from the wave of clown killings. Luminhale—the miracle drug promised to ease depression—claims no responsibility. They insist it's correlation, not causation.

Jamie Fisher knows better. She's seen the statistics. She's seen the aftermath. And tonight, she's about to see what the side effects really look like.

Because sometimes the real horror isn't a virus, a monster, or a maniac in a clown suit. Sometimes it's the cure itself.

Fans of psychological dread, corporate horror, and slow-burn terror will find much to fear in this chilling standalone story.

This was an EXCELLENT little read!!! The scary thing about this story is that it could probably happen in real life... which makes this story even scarier!!! I guess the moral to this story is to be wary of what's in your medicine cabinet... and of what you put into your body... as you never know what might come out...lol!!! It's a GREAT little scary story and I LOVED it!!! I can't wait to read more from this author!!!
