About The Thirteenth Hour
Malcolm is a devoted but naïve son and has spent most of his life caring for his sick mum, sadly her health is deteriorating rapidly and all he wants before she dies is to grant her last wish, but in order to do so, he needs the one thing they haven’t got…money. Unqualified for anything else, he takes a job at a care home where he meets a strange and creepy new resident, Clarissa, who makes him a temporary job offer that he can’t afford to turn down. But what’s the catch? And why does Clarissa choose him? When Malcolm starts work for Clarissa, he soon realises she isn’t quite what she appears to be and his fear only grows when he unwittingly discovers a mysterious book. What does it mean? And what dark secrets is Clarissa hiding? Can he figure it out in time? As Malcolm struggles to unravel a mystery he doesn’t understand he’s plunged into a nightmare that takes him to the depths of his worst fears as unimaginable sinister forces test his courage. Ultimately, someone will pay with their life, but who will it be? A horrifying story of courage, love and terror. As the old saying goes… ‘If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.’ A gripping and terrifying Novella.
