The Darkness I Called

By Nathan Swarts

The Darkness I Called

Ava has only ever known cruelty. At home, she's unwanted. At school, she's a punching bag. Her prayers for help echo into silence-until something finally answers.

A voice in the dark.
Gentle. Comforting. Dangerous.

It promises her safety. Power. Justice. All she has to do is let it in.

As the whispers grow stronger, Ava begins to change. Bruises fade, but rage blooms. The shadows that once frightened her now protect her, guide her... and demand blood in return.

But what happens when survival turns into vengeance? When the line between savior and monster disappears?

The Darkness I Called is a haunting, visceral descent into loneliness, trauma, and the intoxicating lure of power. Perfect for fans of dark psychological horror and supernatural thrillers like Carrie and The Silent Patient, this novel asks:
When no one saves you... how long before you stop saving yourself?
