Something in the soil is listening.
It doesn't make promises. It doesn't need to. It simply holds up a mirror — and waits for you to make the first move.
The Plot Calls: Pride is the first volume in a seven-part dark supernatural horror anthology series exploring the sins that hollow us from the inside out. Five self-contained stories. One mythology threading through all of them. One ancient hunger that grows with every soul it consumes.
________
Five people. Five hungers. Five pacts made in the dark.
A professor who believes reality should conform to her opinions — and finds something ancient willing to agree.
A surgeon who built a legacy in someone else's hospital, only to watch a younger hand take the scalpel he earned.
A beauty mogul who fed her most precious things to a shimmering patch of soil, nightly, in exchange for something time had already taken.
A tech billionaire whose empire was built on stolen innovation — and who discovers control is only borrowed, never owned.
A comedian who traded her soul for a comeback, and got exactly what she asked for.
They each heard the whisper. They each answered.
_______
What you're reading — and why it hits differently.
The Plot Calls isn't a traditional horror novel. It's a dark anthology series built like Black Mirror meets The Twilight Zone — each story complete on its own, each one feeding something larger. Every volume covers a new deadly sin. Every pact has a price the reader sees coming long before the characters do.
The horror here isn't loud. It's the quiet kind — the kind that builds in the space between what someone wants and what they're willing to pay for it. Atmospheric, psychological, and uncomfortably human.
Investigators Marcus Serling and Sam Erriden thread through the anthology, piecing together the disappearances the world can't explain. Their search for Marcus's missing grandfather leads somewhere older and stranger than either of them is prepared for. The series doesn't end with this book. It begins.
