Nowhere, Ohio (Paperback or Softback)

In the quiet bedroom communities surrounding Akron, Ohio, a series of brutal animal attacks leaves a trail of mutilated bodies. Fourteen-year-old Ryan Hatcher, burdened by the challenges of separated parents, a distant older brother, and a mother battling cancer, stumbles upon a chilling belief. Convinced that his father and other locals will transform into werewolves during the impending full moon, Ryan grapples with the weight of this ominous prophecy.

As if werewolves weren't enough, Ryan also contends with spectral entities communicating exclusively with his younger sister, Layla, using her toys as conduits for otherworldly messages. Despite the skepticism of his friends, Ryan embarks on a paranormal investigation, uncovering eerie behaviors in neighbors and even his own family. The result is a blood-soaked coming-of-age horror story set against the backdrop of a small town with just weeks to unravel the clues and convince loved ones that a horrifying event is looming.

"Nowhere, Ohio" weaves a tale of horror, drawing inspiration from real places and events of the era while infusing 80s nostalgia, offering a terrifying narrative that explores the challenges of growing up.
