Where The Spiral Ends

By John Burton

Tourvelle Parish, Louisiana, 1989. The murders all leave the same calling card, a spiral piece of Kudzu, and the sound of music hummed the night of the murder. Detectives Lena Petrova and Miles Corbin thought they were hunting a serial killer.

They were wrong.

The killings are frequencies.

The parish is the amplifier.

Sitting atop Radio Hill, the kudzu-covered Blackwood Tower has been leaning against the edge of the town since 1899, waiting for the right song of blood and grief to let it through. Lena believes the answer lies in faith and forgotten archives. Miles believes the evidence can tell the story... giving the detectives the confession they need. Two detectives against something ancient and unknowable. Where the Spiral Ends is a Southern-Gothic cosmic horror about grief as currency, sound as contagion, and the terrible truth that some debts are not paid; they are tuned, and something vast and ancient has been waiting for its chance to lean into our world.
