You don’t read the book. It reads you.
Rumors of a deadly book have been floating around the dark corners of the deep web. A disturbing tale about a mysterious figure who preys on those who read the book and subjects them to a world of personalized terror.
Jesse Wheeler—former guitarist of the heavy metal group The Rising Dead—was quick to discount the ominous folklore associated with the book. It takes more than some urban legend to frighten him. Hell, reality is scary enough. Seven years ago his greatest responsibility was the nightly guitar solo. Then one night when Jesse was blackout drunk, he accidentally injured his son, leaving him permanently disabled. Dreams of being a rock star died when he destroyed his son's future. Now he cuts radio jingles and fights to stay clean.
But Jesse is wrong. The legend is real—and tonight he will become the protagonist in an elaborate scheme specifically tailored to prey on his fears and resurrect the ghosts from his past.
Jesse is not the only one in danger, however. By reading the book, you have volunteered to participate in the author’s deadly game, with every page drawing you closer to your own personalized nightmare. The real horror doesn’t begin until you reach the end.
That’s when the evil comes for you.

"Love would be worthless if it wasn't so hard to attain.' So goes a line in Brian Kirk's masterful Will Haunt You, a trippy piece of rock-and-rollfueled occult meta-fiction proving that love sometimes is terrifyingly difficult to attain. If you think sobriety or any of your other defenses protect you from the horrors of this world, reading Kirk's Will Haunt You will dissuade you from that notion. In a big way. Highly recommended!" -- John F.D. Taff, Multi-Bram Stoker-Nominated Author of Little Black Spots and The Fearing
"The writing has a guitar-like rhythm-a cool, choppy riffthat hooked me in, and all but had me tapping my foot as I whirled through the pages. But rest assured, this is no breezy melody. It's a dark arrangement, a terror chorus. It will sink into your bones and shake you. With WILL HAUNT YOU, Brian Kirk stands tall in the dark fiction arena, and affirms that horrorlike rock and roll-will never die." -- Rio Youers, author of THE FORGOTTEN GIRL and HALCYON.
"Will Haunt You by Brian Kirk is a character-driven tale of cosmic horror that reminds readers that there are dark, dangerous, possible futures lurking on the horizon, unexplainable, inescapable, beyond human comprehension." -- Rougeski Reads
"Kirk has crafted something special here in that I was hooked from the first page onward." -- Horror DNA
