The Callback

Brandy Hughes is a struggling actress with one last shot at stardom. Her raw, emotional audition for director Elliot Davenport's psychological horror thriller, Night Screams, leaves the cast and crew stunned. But the real horror begins after she leaves the studio.

She wakes up in a cold, suffocating cave-stripped, terrified, and utterly alone. A masked figure watches her every move, forcing her to confront her deepest fears, her past traumas, and the very nature of performance itself. As days blur into an endless nightmare, Brandy finds unexpected allies, including a mysterious janitor, a grieving ghost, and a broken old man who speaks of faith and fate. Each encounter pushes her closer to the edge.

Is this a sadistic game designed to break her? Or is it the most intense acting workshop imaginable? The line between reality and fiction dissolves as Brandy is pushed beyond human limits, forced to perform the role of a lifetime... or die trying.

The Callback is a chilling, genre-bending masterpiece that masterfully blends the cutthroat world of Hollywood auditions with the visceral terror of a captivity thriller. With shocking twists, profound psychological depth, and a final reveal that will leave you breathless, this novel explores the terrifying cost of ambition, the power of performance, and the dark, hidden places where dreams become nightmares.

Perfect for fans of The Silence of the Lambs, Misery, and Black Mirror.
