Before the Curtain Falls

Every performance has an audience.

Some audiences are deadly.

Micah Fenwick thought he was coming to Welton Hollow for a simple job, repairing an ancient bell tower. What he found instead was a town frozen in an eerie stillness, where shadows linger too long and every glance feels like part of a scene already rehearsed.

For decades, people have vanished here. Always on March 19th. Always at midnight. No bodies. No return. Hazel Archer's mother was one of them, and she's determined to find out why. Teaming up with Micah, she pulls him into a labyrinth of cryptic maps, whispered warnings, and watchers who seem to know their every move before they make it.

As the next disappearance draws closer, the line between stagecraft and reality blurs. To survive, they'll have to go off-script because in Welton Hollow, the show never ends until the audience says so.

A taut psychological thriller with a haunting atmosphere and unforgettable twists, Before the Curtain Falls will keep you turning pages deep into the night.
