A Davis Mountains Ghost Story

Beschreibung

In the shadow of the Davis Mountains, Martin and Lindsay Eastman are loaned a remote piece of West Texas land, a gift from her father that seems more curse than blessing. What begins as a hopeful start to quiet living soon turns unsettling: animals spooked without cause, unnatural storms, weird coincidences, and a growing sense that something unseen walks their land. As Lindsay's historical research uncovers long-buried truths, Martin becomes increasingly disturbed by the pattern of unexplained events, and the way they seem tied to a forgotten act of violence. A rifle on display in a nearby museum may hold the key, but unlocking the truth means confronting both the land's dark legacy and their own rising fears. When their newborn son becomes the focus of an ancient wrong, the couple must face the past before it destroys their future. Told in two timelines, modern day and 19th-century Fort Davis, this slow-burn ghost story blends historical realism with supernatural suspense. At its heart is a mystery rooted in guilt, silence, and justice long denied. With vivid atmosphere and emotional depth, A Davis Mountain Ghost Story explores how the past refuses to stay buried and how storms gather until forgiveness comes. Perfect for fans of eerie, character-driven stories grounded in real places and events, Kyle Vernon's debut novel offers a powerful blend of frontier history, family legacy, and spectral reckoning.
