The Plot Calls

The Plot Calls: Pride

When people driven by pride answer a call they don't understand,
the cost is never what they expect.

Barbara Alder - a controversial professor vanishes after altering history itself.
Frank Voss - a legendary cardiac surgeon disappears the night his legacy slips from his grasp.
Valerie Cho - a once-iconic supermodel is found dead in her office, leaving behind a cryptic note.

Each case shares the same impossible detail:
A man in black robes, standing idle over a six-by-six patch of obsidian soil.

They all mention the same thing.

The Plot.

As bodies surface and whispers spread, detectives are forced to enlist the help of paranormal researchers Marcus Serling and Sam Erriden-two men already haunted by unanswered questions and personal loss. Their investigation reveals a terrifying truth:

When the Plot calls...
and someone answers...
the Plot thickens.

And how is the Plot connected to Marcus Serling's missing grandfather... and a secret buried within reality itself?

Some answers emerge.
Many do not.

And every truth uncovered raises something worse.

I've always loved anthology series that tell complete stories while quietly building something larger beneath the surface. The Plot Calls is my love letter to that tradition.

Written like a television series, The Plot Calls: Pride is Season One of a planned seven-season anthology, followed by two full novels that expand the universe further and bring the story to a satisfying conclusion.

These stories are designed to be easy to read and hard to forget-psychological horror with philosophical undertones that linger long after the final page. Each character has a carefully crafted backstory and an intentional network of relationships, and the world of The Plot Calls extends beyond this book into other existing-and upcoming-stories.
