Tick: A Poem

By Lily Joy

USA's First Thriller in Poetry Author
Clover Hill's sleepy streets hide a nightmare. A metronome's tick-tick echoes, marking each girl's end faces taped, smiles crushed by a killer's cold hand. Rookie cop Colby Rourke, barely wet behind the ears, chases a sinister pattern to save the next spark: Lark, a quiet girl whose light Jessa, her fierce aunt, guards with every ounce of her heart. These 120 raw, poetic snapshots pulse with dread, weaving a thriller of loss, grit, and a monster's buried wounds. Colby's hunt leads him through shadows, haunted by Sadie and Willa's stolen laughter, as the tick-tick counts down to a deadly showdown. Can he outrun a killer whose pain fuels his art? Every poem is a heartbeat, every line a plea to save what's left of Clover Hill's soul. Perfect for fans of dark poetry, psychological suspense, small-town mysteries, and serial killer thrillers, TICK a Poem is a gut-punch you won't shake off. Step into the rhythm where fear writes the score, and one spark could burn through the dark or be lost forever.
