Publisher's summary

"Secrets of the Dead Church":

"Brimming with intrigue and suspense, "Secrets of the Dead Church" is a fiction book set in a sleepy coastal town during the early 20th century. This tale fuses elements of science fiction and gothic horror, intricately weaving a story that explores the fine line between human pursuit of knowledge and the chaotic realm of the supernatural.
Delving Into The Story
Our protagonist, Morris Friar, is an electrical engineer riding on the cusp of a revolutionary invention - the 'aerophones'. His strained relationship with his cousin, the intelligent yet aloof, Mary Belcher, serves as the emotional core of the narrative. Dive into their complex interactions, familial pressures, and duties, as Morris grapples with his obsession and Mary contends with her own personal tragedy.
Merging Science and the Supernatural
As the narrative unfolds, the subplot involving Morris's invention spirals into an unsettling journey into the supernatural. It becomes a chilling account of Morris's increasing obsession to contact the departed, specifically the spirit of Stella Hamilton - a poignant figure from his past. The narrative masterfully plays with elements of science fiction and horror, blurring the boundaries between reality and the ethereal, and questioning the limits of human obsession and the price of seeking the unknown.
Finally...
"Secrets of the Dead Church" is a perfect blend of early 20th-century societal norms, familial expectations, and the dangers of unchecked curiosity. It sets the stage for a layered narrative steeped in the supernatural, exploring the enduring themes of duty, the pursuit of knowledge, and the perils of obsession. Will Morris find the answers to his questions, or will his obsession lead to his ultimate downfall? Find out in this thrilling read.
