Opis

When the editor of a paranormal magazine asks Nick Young for a story yesterday, the part-time writer is determined to give him one. Featuring high school students Adam and Kysa, who are telepathic twins, Psychic seems to write itself. As words flow, a plot reveals that a terrorist blows up a building, and describes how the brother, sister, and their mother, an ER nurse, must work together in order to save the survivors trapped inside. Just for fun, Nick has based the main characters on his friends and people that interested him, but when his tale suddenly begins to come true, fiction turns into real-life horror. Far from being a figment of his imagination, the demon that appears in Psychic turns out to be a reality. In the past, Kysa, a ghost-hunter, had robbed the evil creature by releasing souls to heaven, and now it wants payback. As the story plays out, the only things left standing between death and devastation for hundreds of people are the clues that lay hidden in the pages of Nick's story. Is Psychic is more of a prediction than a fictional tale of horror? Nick, Kysa, Adam, and Elaine must decipher the clues to keep a demon from stealing innocent lives, and any one of them could fall victim to the evil. Filled with terror and suspense, this story within a story is guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats to the very last page.
