“One never knows when the devil is around the corner.”

After spending some time unable to finish anything, because life continues moving whether we are ready or not, I finally finished Ezra’s Secret by P.D. Alleva.

And honestly, I am still trying to process what I just read.

This is my second book by P.D. Alleva, and his ability to tell a story is above the limit. He creates the kind of mystery that slowly wraps itself around you, tightens its grip, and refuses to let go until the final page.

Set in New York City in 1955, the story follows Ezra, a shy and isolated fifteen-year-old whose reality begins to unravel through disturbing daydreams, strange encounters, and secrets that have been kept from her for far too long. As her mental health deteriorates and the line between reality and illusion becomes increasingly difficult to recognize, a mysterious stranger enters her life with the possibility of answers. But the truth behind Ezra’s identity may be far more horrifying than anything she imagined.

That is all you need to know.

Ezra’s Secret is psychological horror at its strongest. P.D. does not simply place something frightening in front of the reader. He traps us inside Ezra’s uncertainty. We experience her confusion, fear, and isolation without knowing what is real, what is imagined, or who can be trusted.

The atmosphere is filled with constant uneasiness. Something feels wrong from the beginning, but the story refuses to reveal exactly what it is. Instead, the dread continues building as Ezra’s reality becomes more unstable and the secrets surrounding her begin rising to the surface.

And Ezra’s parents?

Absolutely horrible.

I could not stand them. They perfectly represent what happens when the wrong people become parents. Their treatment of Ezra made me angry, but it also made her isolation painfully believable. She is surrounded b

The Devil has found his voice.

Hearing this story brought to life has been an incredible experience, and I could not have asked for a better narrator. Zach Little of understood the darkness, the emotion, and the true horror behind this story. He delivered a performance that made it feel even more terrifying than I imagined.

Thank you, Zach, for giving these characters a voice, especially the one that should never have been heard.

This is not your typical possession story.

This is not your typical exorcism.

And once the Devil starts speaking...

you may wish you had never listened.

The Mortal Coil series is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats.
The Mortal Coil Universe is a shared horror universe that began with The Real Monster, and with each book, the veil grows thinner.

The Real Monster (Book 1) — Available Now.
When elite detective Emily Parker is called to the scene of a ritualistic murder, she expects blood. She doesn’t expect the dead to whisper in her ear. Nor does she expect the symbols carved into the victim’s skin to mirror those from her sister’s unsolved case.

What begins as a hunt for a serial killer becomes a descent into ancient darkness. With the help of a mysterious historian known as Van Helsing, Emily uncovers a hidden war waged across centuries and discovers her place at its center.

But the truth is far more terrifying than any legend.

Dracula was real.
And he was only the beginning.

The Pale Hunger (Book 2) — Available Now
When four friends enter the forest to uncover what happened to Owen and Elenor Holloway, they expect grief, maybe even death.
Instead, the woods answer with silence and something far worse.

Symbols carved into bark.
Bones arranged like rituals.
Creatures watching from the dark.

Each step draws them deeper into a fracture in reality where memory decays, grief festers, and the soul begins to erode. Something ancient stalks the trees. It remembers the cold.
And it remembers the taste of flesh.

Set within the expanding Mortal Coil Universe, The Pale Hunger is a descent into madness, loss, and the monstrous hunger that waits in the spaces between worlds.

The First Parasite (Book 3) — Available Now
High above Earth, aboard the Aurora Station, humanity’s greatest achievement drifts in silence.

Then the sky tears open.
When contact with Earth is suddenly lost, unexplained anomalies spread through the station whispers in the vents, fractures in reality, and a presence that does not belong. What begins as a containment failure soon reveals itself as something far worse.

Not a virus.
Not an infection.
A parasite.

As crew members begin to change, voices spread without mouths, and bodies become vessels for something ancient and intelligent, the survivors uncover a terrifying truth:
The breach was not an accident.
The entity did not arrive alone.
And humanity was never meant to remain untouched.

The First Parasite expands The Mortal Coil beyond Earth, plunging the series into cosmic horror, identity erosion, and the cost of awakening something that should have remained unheard.

Silence and isolation are no longer the scariest things in space.

Book 3 of The Mortal Coil is here.

Today was one of those days I never expected. What started as a normal workday turned into something I'll never forget.

My job surprised me by setting up a small book signing for The Real Monster during the opening of our new cafeteria. I ended up signing books for my coworkers and sharing a moment I honestly never thought I'd experience at work.

I'm still trying to process it. I feel grateful, humbled, and a little emotional, not gonna lie.

To everyone who was part of this surprise, to my boss Chris, and to everyone who has supported my writing, read my stories, shared a post, left a review, or simply believed in me... thank you. Moments like this remind me why I came back to writing.

This one meant a lot.

I’m honestly so happy right now. The Mortal Coil has been doing really well with reviews, and I’m beyond grateful. Thank you to every single one of you who took a chance on my stories, who read, reviewed, shared, or simply supported in any way.
Indie horror lives because of readers like you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be read. 🖤
