Ink and Blood

Journalist Daniel Harper has built his career exposing the darkest corners of corruption and uncovering untold truths. But nothing could prepare him for his latest investigation-a series of brutal murders gripping the city, each one chillingly similar to the scenes from a popular horror series by the reclusive novelist Sebastian Vale. At first, Daniel dismisses the connection as a morbid coincidence.
However, as more bodies surface, the similarities between fiction and reality become impossible to ignore. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Daniel dives deep into the life of Sebastian Vale, a mysterious figure whose books seem to predict real-life events down to their grisliest details.

Daniel's investigation quickly turns personal as he begins receiving anonymous tips, finding cryptic clues, and sensing an invisible hand guiding his every move. The deeper he digs, the more Daniel's sense of control slips away.
