Inhaltsangabe

When family secrets and supernatural terror collide, some sins follow you to the grave-and beyond. Brett Hoffmann thought his grandfather was dead. So when he receives a call from a remote Oklahoma nursing home, he's shocked to learn that Enoch is not only alive but has just killed a nurse in a dementia-fueled rage. Reluctantly traveling to the decaying town of Windy Acres, Brett expects to handle funeral arrangements and legal matters. Instead, he discovers a family history darker than he ever imagined. As Brett delves deeper into his grandfather's past, he uncovers brutal family secrets: a murdered uncle he never knew existed, decades of abuse, and a trail of violence that spans generations. But the nursing home harbors its own mysteries. Residents whisper about supernatural visitations, and staff speak in hushed tones about the evil that seems to follow Enoch wherever he goes. Denise McKinney, the sharp-minded former teacher in the neighboring room, becomes Brett's unlikely guide into a world where the living and the dead intersect. She claims that as we age, we begin to see beyond the veil-and what she sees surrounding Enoch terrifies her. With only days left before his grandfather's predicted death, Brett must confront a horrifying question: Can a lifetime of cruelty be forgiven, or do some souls create their own hell? A haunting exploration of family trauma, redemption, and the afterlife, "Dead of the Day" asks what we truly believe about death, judgment, and the possibility of mercy-even for the unforgivable. Perfect for readers who enjoyed "The Only Good Indians," "Mexican Gothic," or "The Silent Companions"-literary horror that lingers long after the final page.
