Tropic of Darkness
ByPublisher Description
From a Bram Stoker Award–nominated author comes an original full-length supernatural thriller set in the shadowy streets of Havana, Cuba—where danger, desire, and darkness collide.
Jack Gilliard has been running from his past for over a decade, avoiding the United States and the ghosts that haunt him. But when he’s washed ashore in Havana, he’s pulled into a sinister business far darker than anything he’s faced before. Here, amid the city’s crumbling beauty and pulsating nightlife, ancient passions and betrayals rise to the surface, tangled in an age-old curse that refuses to die.
As the sins of his past entwine with the horrors of the present, Jack finds himself hunted by forces both human and supernatural. His only hope of survival is to escape Cuba—but breaking free will prove far more dangerous than staying. The real question: can Jack outrun the encroaching darkness, or will it claim him forever?
Tropic of Darkness is a gripping blend of supernatural suspense, atmospheric horror, and relentless thriller pacing—perfect for fans of haunting mysteries, dark curses, and international noir.

“A supernatural thriller set in Havana, Cuba with an age old curse. I didn't get the book, what it was about or exactly what was happening. But then again I wasn't very invested in it, to be honest.”
