‘Agony’s Lodestone’: A Cosmic Horror Nightmare With A Terrifying Cover From Trevor Henderson [Exclusive]
As a found footage freak, I am here to tell you that found footage can extend to the literary world. Yes, it’s a very different medium, but the idea of found footage can still be utilized to the utmost effect. Case in point, Laura Keating’s upcoming novel from Tenebrous Press, Agony’s Lodestone. Centering around a mysterious videotape and a long-lost sister with some cosmic and folk horror elements sprinkled in, this new horror novel is a definite must-read.
Read the full synopsis below:
The night Joanne went missing, Aggie’s world ended. When a videotape arrives twenty years later containing hints of their sister’s fate, Aggie and her two remaining siblings set off in search of answers and closure. As they track Joanne’s last known movements to the rocky Atlantic coast, their surroundings embrace them almost too completely, and the cryptic tape’s message changes. And changes. And changes again.
Lost in a labyrinthine forest that shifts right in front of their eyes; trapped, exhausted, and pushed to their limits; by day, Aggie and her family struggle to defy the unearthly force that has taken hold of their fate, while by night a hideous figure stalks them from the shadows.
We’re excited to exclusively debut the incredible cover for Agony’s Lodestones, designed by horror illustrator and artist Trevor Henderson. He also designed all of the novel’s interior illustrations.
