Beryl Jacobs and Derek Garcia have long been rivals. Hosts of two competing platforms, a successful YouTube podcast and network television series, they’re always at each other’s throats. Why should their investigation of Windlow Manor be any different? Beryl believes in ghosts, and she’s determined to prove they're real. Armed with a store-bought handheld camera and EVP recorders, she’s ready to capture the lost souls residing in the abandoned mansion. It’s been on her dream list of locations for years, and she finally has access to the property — for an entire month! There’s only one problem: she’s not the only investigator prowling the grounds. Derek Garcia has seen the worst life has to offer, which has only served to strengthen his belief that supernatural phenomena aren’t real. He’s certain the hauntings are a hoax, the product of fallible human imagination. He and his crew, backed by a powerful network with their sophisticated equipment and deep pockets, are on-site to disprove the local lore. But Windlow Manor has other plans. Animosity turns into a tenuous partnership when inexplicable things begin to happen around the house. Too many accidents go unexplained, a strange illness strikes a member of the crew, and the investigators find themselves in a sticky situation. Suddenly, things aren’t as clear as they seemed. As activity ramps up, time is running out. What’s really happening inside the mansion? Can the investigators survive, or will they be the newest casualties on the long list of strange deaths related to the property?

Trigger Warnings

Beyond the Veil is a supernatural horror novel with a romantic subplot. As such, this book will contain explicit scenes involving consensual sex (MF) and disturbing scenes depicting violence, gore, and death (both adult and child). As you read, you will encounter ghosts and monsters, graphic language, blood, a car crash, uxoricide, accidental matricide, child loss (stillbirth), cannibalism, desecration of a corpse, and spectrophilia.

Due to the nature of this text, you will also find commentary related to body dysmorphia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and racist ideology. Such commentary is intended to raise social awareness, and the words and actions of characters do not necessarily reflect the author’s views on the subjects at large. These instances include mentions of anxiety, personal triggers, body shaming, mentions of abuse, war flashbacks, and discussions regarding slavery and unjust political systems.
