CRAIG BECK: AUTHOR

The First Thriller From Craig Beck

INCUBUS: A SUPERNATURAL THRILLER

When John Prest was six years old, his parents could not wake him. The night terrors were so violent that doctors drugged him into silence, and for 29 years the silence held. Then a truck ran a red light on Queens Boulevard, and something that had been locked inside his skull since 1997 opened its eyes.

Now, whatever John falls asleep looking at, he can change. A photograph of a lottery ticket. A colleague who laughed at him. A woman he loved at seventeen. He is 35, overlooked, divorced, and invisible, and for the first time in his life the world does what he tells it.

But the thing that sits on his chest in the dark is not granting wishes. It is feeding. Every gift arrives with a bill, and the bill is always paid by somebody else. A shopkeeper. A girlfriend. A family on a bridge over a river. And every night he goes back, another piece of John dies with them.
