"...a coming of age/horror mash-up that will first terrify -- then break -- you heart...."

1958. Millhollow. Best friends, twelve-year-old Max and thirteen-year-old Sharer spend their days sneaking into the Terrace for Matinees, avoiding old lady Smerek, and finding boyhood adventures in the nooks and crannies of their dilapidated town.

​

But one spring, when the rains threaten to wash the town away, Max finds a box and something happens that changes everything -- the town, the boys, their friendship. Whisperthings are everywhere, and their childhoods are left behind.

​

But what is the real truth? The Trilby Box knows.

​

Sometimes the truth is hard to find. And we believe what makes life livable.

SSSHH..HEAR THAT? THEM BE THE WHISPERTHINGS...

​

My father was a prolific and talented writer, coming close to agents and publishing opportunities several times.

​

In the end, he left this world suddenly and unexpectedly, and I inherited boxes of wonderful manuscripts from his complex and imaginative brain. 

This is one of them. Layered and not only what it appears on the surface, it is a fitting reflection of him. And a frightening and powerful story to boot.
