Henry was burying his daughter again, but the thing is...she just won’t stay buried. Elsie, Henry’s daughter was fourteen when she went missing and he’s been burying pieces of her ever since, on the anniversary of her ‘death day.’
Each totem Henry places in the ground are memories of his daughter’s life he’s desperate to forget, attempting to do all he can to rid himself of his mistakes and his part in her disappearance and more than likely death.
All is not lost though when a stranger appears at Henry’s grief counseling group with a dark and disturbing proposition for him. “Have you ever tried to make contact your daughter, to see if she’s passed?” What follows is a tale of deception and possession like no other.
From the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of ‘Tome’ and ‘The Devil’s Pocketbook’ comes a new terrifying nightmare about the dangers and pitfalls of not seeing your child for the person they were born to be before it’s too late and how grief can climb inside us and make our heart its home.
Only the Stains Remain
Ross Jeffery
From the Bram Stoker Nominated Author Ross Jeffery comes a new nightmare.
Only The Stains Remain is the haunting story of Jude and Kyle, two brothers whose lives are destroyed when, following the death of their mother, their three abusive uncles Dwight, Lucius, and Lenny move in to the family home. But whilst Jude suffers to a degree, Kyle is the one who takes the brunt of their attention, submitting himself to preserve his younger brother’s innocence.
As a grown man, Jude’s mind turns to vengeance for what they have endured. He has waited a long time, but now he is strong enough, and cold-hearted enough, to do the deed. Enacting one harrowing revenge after another, Jude’s dark quest to punish the wrongs of the past will show that after all is said and done, only the stains of the past will remain.
