Overview

Deep in the fog-shrouded redwoods of the Pacific Northwest, the town of Blackroot conceals a sinister past. For Delson Heller, a juvenile drug dealer yearning for a better life, the brutal murder of his closest friend shatters any illusion of normalcy. A cryptic video marks Delson and his classmates as targets in a sadistic plot tied to dark secrets from the town's past. As they unravel the mystery, they confront a legacy of violence, stories of a ruthless cult that has haunted the town since its founding, and Skullflower-a mind-altering drug that twists reality and erodes sanity. With a masked killer closing in and trust fracturing, Delson must protect those he loves while battling the darkness within himself. But as the body count rises and the true mastermind emerges, he faces a harrowing choice: embrace his violent heritage or fight for redemption, risking everything he holds dear. In a town where secrets refuse to stay buried, Delson's greatest enemy may already control his mind. Will he withstand the horror-or become it?

Author Information

Dylan DeGrave is a horror author from the misty redwoods of Northern California's Humboldt County, a place where the line between beauty and darkness sometimes blurs, and every shadow has a story.Raised on a steady diet of VHS horror tapes, Dylan found comfort in the genre's chaos, turning childhood fear into fascination. That early love for horror evolved into a passion for storytelling, and in 2020, he began seriously crafting the kinds of tales that once kept him up at night. After years of writing short stories and novels behind the scenes, HELLER marks his chilling debut into the world of published horror.Dylan's work is known for its fast pace, emotional intensity, and brutal honesty. His stories dig deep into grief, trauma, and the monsters that live inside us, often shaped by his own life experiences and the people he's known, mixed with a healthy dose of the genre he grew up on.When he's not writing, Dylan can be seen talking about his favorite horror films and books on his social media. He writes to unsettle, to move, and most of all - to leave you thinking long after the last page.
