Some books are written to be read. This one was written to be obeyed. In 1933, a farmer's strike in upstate New York ended in blood. Amid the chaos, a strange book appears, its pages filled with words that should never have been written. Those who sign it find themselves blessed with luck, wealth, or power... provided they do as they are told. A cursed book has surfaced in a quiet Upstate New York town, and it doesn't just guide. It controls. When a restless college student and a weary bookstore owner cross paths with the Black Book, reality fractures, memories twist. Dreams bleed into waking nightmares. And as its influence spreads, a buried piece of history claws its way back, the violent 1933 farmers' strike that scarred the region. The only one immune to its pull is an ordinary friend. But to stop the book from consuming everyone he loves, he must uncover its secrets and face the horrors that history tried to erase. Spanning time and memory, What Guides Us is a psychological horror novel that explores haunted history, fractured identity, and the dangerous allure of knowledge. Fans of Needful Things, The Haunting of Hill House, and Heart-Shaped Box will find themselves drawn into a chilling world where words have power... and the past never stays buried. Every book leaves a mark. Some write it back.
Dennis Joslyn writes the kind of horror that doesn't leap at you; it creeps in slowly, settles under your skin, and makes itself at home.His debut novel, What Reads Us, is a psychological horror about guilt, grief, and a cursed book that might be reading you back. The story continues in What Guides Us, the chilling second installment in The Black Book Series, where haunted history and fractured memory collide.Based in New York, Dennis lives under the watchful eyes of two small pugs, who serve as both muses and editorial tyrants. When he's not writing, he can usually be found over-researching dark history for future stories, drinking too much coffee, and wondering whether anyone else hears the whispers behind the bookshelf.If you enjoy horror that lingers long after the last page, Dennis invites you to stay awhile, but keep the lights on.
