The Trick

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Uncover the secret buried in the cellar. Press the button. But whatever you do, don’t open the door.

When failed writer David Harp inherits a crumbling house in the small town of Motton, Maine, he’s looking for peace, quiet, and a chance to finally write his novel. Instead, he finds a relic hidden in the darkness—a strange brass machine engraved with two words: THE TRICK.

One press of the button changes everything.

The shadows in his home begin to move. Pointing fingers emerge from the dark. And the whispers start—a chorus of forgotten voices begging to be remembered. David soon learns he has awakened the Nehasha, ancient beings who have waited centuries for a storyteller to make them real again.

But the Nehasha are not alone. There is something else in the dark with them. Something older. Something hungry.

As the line between imagination and reality blurs, David discovers the only way to stop the pointing is to write their story. But stories have power, and some doors, once opened, are not so easily closed.

THE TRICK is a haunting literary horror novel about grief, creation, and the terrifying price of being remembered. For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Mexican Gothic, this is a tale that will linger in your mind long after the final page.
