FIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the coastal town of Drowned Crow, the dead don't rest—they cure in salt and stand guard in the back pew of a fog-shrouded church. When Lacey McLeod defies an ancient tradition and denies her drowned brother the ritual, she doesn't just break a covenant—she invites the hungry sea to reclaim what it's owed. Now the Salt-Stained Saints are walking, and they're not leaving. They've come to collect the entire town.

From a man whose search for the perfect, tidy companion goes terribly right, to a cursed inheritance of twelve clocks that don't just tell time but steal it, to the predatory silence after all sound dies—these are tales for the darkest, foggiest nights. Step inside and meet the gluttons, the fishers of echoes, and the patient souls in the waiting room where death is just the beginning of a very long hold. Your spine will tingle, your breath will hitch. Don't mind the rustling in the corner. That's just the sound of a story turning its page.
