An antiques appraiser in 1976 New Orleans, and an avid student of history, Keningale has built his life around evaluating forgotten objects and tracing the long shadows they cast. He does not restore the past—he measures it, catalogs it, and keeps his distance.

Until the day an ancient idol tied to an immortal lineage finds him with the certainty of fate.

What awakens is hunger.
And erosion.

As mirrors  fracture and shadows begin to speak, Keningale’s descent unfolds less as a curse than as a reckoning with buried selves long denied. This is not possession, but initiation—into a system that feeds on memory, identity, and the fragile architecture of the mind.

Guided, pressured, and provoked by forces that watch with intent, Echo traces a descent that is as psychological as it is mythic—a journey inward where sanity thins, and immortality reveals itself as a mirror that does not forgive.

Set in a haunted 1970s New Orleans where the past breathes and the mind becomes a battleground, Echo is a Gothic horror novel about fate, hunger, and the terror of seeing oneself too clearly.

Some stories don’t want to be told.
They demand to be confronted.

“This is horror that trusts the reader’s nervous system.”
