The Boy In The Bayou

They took his life. His sister brought him back. Something else came with him.

He was a good kid trying to make it home.

In a Southern city shadowed by a sprawling bayou, a teenage boy dreams of an honest living and a better future for his younger sister. Then a group of gang members murders him to prove their loyalty and throws his body into the dark water.

His sister never stops waiting.

Years later, the truth drives her into forbidden spiritual practices, and a resurrection curse she writes herself. Desperate to bring her brother home and punish his killers, she calls him back from the bayou.

But beneath the water lies a forgotten cemetery. And her brother does not rise alone.

Possessed by restless spirits and trapped in a decaying body, he begins hunting the men who killed him. To restore what the water has ruined, he must take matching body parts from the living. Each feeding buys him only six hours.

Then the innocent begin to die.

As fear grips the city, his sister catches glimpses of the gentle boy she remembers inside the nightmare she unleashed. Saving him becomes an impossible choice, because the curse carries one terrible condition:

Only the person who brought him back can end his resurrected life.

The Boy in the Bayou is a Southern Gothic horror novel about grief, revenge, and a sister's love pushed beyond the boundaries of death.
