"In the permanent place of the dead, there were no angels, no bright lights or family members waiting in the wings. He died in the blackness of regret and error, tumbling through Sheol."

World War II experimentation upon the Jews and Romani. The Nazi's created a super human to obliterate the population that was abhored. What they were not expecting was one of the biggest mistakes they could have possibly made. Their genetic alteration became what they feared and death is now upon them as revenge is seeked from the monster they created. From the war to present day, it returns over and over to collect their souls. 

As many lives connect, the whispers are heard, dark secrets are revealed, and lives are changed forever. The bloodlines are still strong and the genetic alterations are still alive within. The gypsy hears the calling of the whispers and returns once again to answer the call. 

The darkness that lies within this horrifying tale is unparalled occurrences of human atrocities. The evilness of the underbelly of Nazi experimentation and the hate they held for the Jews and Romani. Moving forward to modern day, it delves into the evilness that can lie within the human heart within a family. Spousal and child abuse, alcoholism, and dark secrets surfacing from a long suffered past.

Elements of science, history, societal lifestyles, and war torn minds. Striking differences between evil and goodness, the ability to love and the ability to hate, prejudice against or choosing to embrace dissimilarities. 

A menacing presence that will haunt your nightmares! 

"I’m in your head. I will be in your house. And I will send you falling into a deep, dark, tight hole. I will snare you, little rabbit, or bury you where you live."

Deeply dark and foreboding, the horrors lie within this dreadful and haunting tale of terror!
