Some doors are never meant to be opened.
When Julian Vance was only five years old, his father began speaking to something that no one else could see. What first appeared to be a disturbing illness soon became a terrifying pattern—one that would follow Julian through childhood, adulthood, hospitals, and the dark forests of Blackwood Valley.
Years later, Julian believes the past has finally gone quiet.
Then he misses two doses of his medication.
A strange footprint appears in the wilderness.
Three knocks sound from inside his chest.
And the things he thought were hallucinations begin to feel frighteningly real.
From the isolated Vance family home to the shadowed depths of Blackwood Ravine, Julian's story unfolds through memories, medical records, journals, and disturbing accounts of those who came before him.
Some of the dead are peaceful.
Others are not.
And once they know your name, they may never truly leave.
The Souls That Followed Us is a dark supernatural and psychological horror novel about family, memory, fear, and the unsettling possibility that some things can follow us long after the past is buried.
