Before He Wakes

By Mark Allan Gunnells
Before He Wakes by Mark Allan Gunnells digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Patrick and Clare wake up trapped in a basement, a thin wall separating their cells. Their captor is mysteriously absent, which at first seems like a blessing. As more time passes with no food or water, they begin to realize a clock is ticking for their survival.

Combining their intelligence and determination, the two begin plotting an escape from their shared prison. Overcoming each obstacle only presents another obstacle standing in the way of their freedom. It will take all of their ingenuity and strength to find their way out of this mess.

They know their captor is still out there, and it is only a matter of time before he returns.

Before He Wakes is a fast-paced and tense thriller that ratchets up the suspense and tension before the thrilling conclusion.

“3.5⭐️ Review to come”
“When you’ve been reading, watching, and writing about horror for your entire life, it becomes increasingly difficult to experience the simple joy of being caught off guard and genuinely surprised. It just doesn’t happen that often. You’ve seen every scenario, mainlined every twist and turn in every conceivable kind of terror. The more attuned those particular senses get over time, the more you lust for someone to come along and kick you in the teeth with something that gets the formula right. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1204167.Mark_Allan_Gunnells ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57044905.2B , https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54188423.324_Abercorn ) has done just that, and I offer my sincere thanks. I don’t have to tell you that there are few thrills greater, few impressions stronger than that crucial first read of an author. It’s truly a make or break. On a personal note, I was quite pleased that Gunnells set this story in the upstate of South Carolina where we are both from. I can see it, smell it, and hear it.
