Where They Wait

'Horror has a new name and it s Scott Carson Michael Connelly

'Wow!' Stephen King on The Chill

A desperate journalist looking for work.

A new mindfulness app that promises deep sleep.

A dead woman's voice heard during app-induced nightmares.

Desperate journalist Nick Bishop takes a job profiling new mindfulness app, Clarity. Relaxing meditations are mixed with haunting 'sleep songs' where a woman's voice sings users into a deep sleep.

Then the nightmares begin.

Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name, whispering guidance or are they threats?

Soon, he can't escape her voice. And that's when he makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.

Because whilst he may not have any memory of it, he's one of twenty people who have heard this sinister song before, and the only one who is still alive...

Desperate for work, Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app. But when a song on the app gives him endless nightmares that start to permeate his waking life, he learns that he's the only one to have heard this and survived... Recently laid off from his newspaper and desperate for work, Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app, Clarity. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas - relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the 'Sleep Songs': a woman's hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad, but it's disturbing rather than soothing - more of a warning than a relaxation. However, it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows. As do nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance - or are they threats? Soon, her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him. Because whilst he may not have any memory of it, he's one of twenty people who have heard this sinsister song before, and the only one who is still alive...
