What Guides Us
Some books are written to be read.
This one was written to be obeyed.
In 1933, a farmer's strike in upstate New York ended in blood. Amid the chaos, a strange book appears, its pages filled with words that should never have been written. Those who sign it find themselves blessed with luck, wealth, or power... provided they do as they are told.
A cursed book has surfaced in a quiet Upstate New York town, and it doesn't just guide. It controls.
When a restless college student and a weary bookstore owner cross paths with the Black Book, reality fractures, memories twist. Dreams bleed into waking nightmares. And as its influence spreads, a buried piece of history claws its way back, the violent 1933 farmers' strike that scarred the region.
The only one immune to its pull is an ordinary friend. But to stop the book from consuming everyone he loves, he must uncover its secrets and face the horrors that history tried to erase.
Spanning time and memory, What Guides Us is a psychological horror novel that explores haunted history, fractured identity, and the dangerous allure of knowledge. Fans of Needful Things, The Haunting of Hill House, and Heart-Shaped Box will find themselves drawn into a chilling world where words have power... and the past never stays buried.
Every book leaves a mark.
Some write it back.
