Reels of the Dead

By J L Gardner

Evelyn Cross is a medicolegal death investigator for the city of New Orleans-a city known for jazz, voodoo, and the dead who never truly rest. With a sharp mind, a razor wit, and a VHS collection that could rival any 80s horror aficionado's, she approaches every case like a film: beginning, middle, end. Murder is the plot. Her job is to write the epilogue.

But when bodies begin to appear staged like scenes from classic horror movies, Evelyn's obsessions become her curse. The killer knows her. Watches her. And worst of all-plays by her rules.

To catch the director behind the camera, Evelyn must dive into a world of horror tropes, cinematic clues, and her own haunted past...before she becomes the star of the final act.
