By: Clark A Hiddleston

Narrated by: Christopher Sapienza

In this riveting paranormal thriller, crime and supernatural forces intertwine in ways no one can see coming.

When Donavan Partekin, a reserved research clerk, moves into a grand but aging Victorian house, he expects solitude and a fresh start. Instead, he finds himself entangled in the mysteries of his new neighborhood, where class divides, hidden rituals, and shifting realities threaten to consume him. His neighbor, Jake Talamantes, is more than he seems. Raised on the rougher side of town, Jake belongs to a group that blends Aztec mysticism with modern gang loyalty. As Donavan is drawn into a secretive world, he struggles to distinguish between ancient prophecies and dangerous delusions. Meanwhile, Judge Joan, a woman wielding her own brand of occult power, tightens her grip on the town, while Father McKenzie-Chavez fights to resist the supernatural forces at work.

With shifting identities, ghostly encounters, and a battle between spiritual power and earthly justice, "Phase Shifts in the Old Vic House" is a genre-bending thriller that will keep you questioning what is real until the very end. A must listen for fans of paranormal romance, horror, dark urban fantasy, and supernatural mysteries.
