Book Overview
Hale County.
A place where the past isn't buried-it's waiting.
When a series of violent crimes and unexplained vanishings unsettle a small Tennessee town, Sheriff Jake Hooks begins to suspect something far more sinister than ordinary evil. The trail leads to the mysterious Hale County Asylum, a decaying monument to long-forgotten patients and secrets that were never meant to surface.
As the town slips into chaos, unlikely allies emerge: a grieving journalist obsessed with the truth, a brilliant doctor hiding more than research, and a young man drawn to the asylum by visions he can't explain. Together, they're pulled into a mystery as old as the land itself-one that bends reality, twists memory, and demands sacrifice.
Beneath the dark foundation of the asylum lies something that has waited a long time to be seen. And once the door is opened, it doesn't close quietly.
HALE COUNTY is a slow-burn Southern Gothic thriller drenched in folklore, dread, and psychological unraveling. A haunting meditation on trauma, obsession, and the weight of forgotten sins, this debut novel pulls you deep into the shadows-where truth and madness blur, and not everyone comes out the same.
