Some boxes should never be unpacked.

For Knox Gidden, the twelfth move was supposed to be the family’s last. A final chance to plant roots, heal old wounds, and escape mistakes of the past. But he’s about to learn that some things follow you, no matter how far you run.

It begins with a mysterious, pitch-black box that appears without explanation in their new home. Its arrival unleashes a storm of terrifying events, and all eyes fall on Knox, the family’s troubled son. As paranoia poisons their bonds, a far more sinister truth takes hold: They are not alone.

The box is a portal, and something malevolent has just been set free. An ancient evil has already chosen a host. Hiding behind a familiar face, it patiently turns whispers into weapons, dismantling their love from the inside before claiming their lives. With the demon wearing a loved one’s smile, can Knox unmask the evil in their midst before its dark purpose becomes a reality?

Unfortunately, neither time nor history is on his side.

F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’

ABOUT DL HAMMONs

The first piece of fiction DL ever wrote was in tenth grade—to impress a girl. The piece was a script for a 15-minute audiotape in the style of old radio shows (i.e., Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy), for which his group earned an A+ and he received praise for the originality of the story. The girl was only moderately impressed. After that, there was no turning back!
