Publisher's Synopsis
The Silent Loop is a spine-tingling psychological thriller by Declan Frost that merges haunted VHS tapes, obsessive online followers, and chilling mind games into a single, unstoppable descent into terror.
Jade Carter built her online fame streaming the weird and the macabre for her devoted "Creepers"-a legion of fans who watch her every move. When a VHS labeled Your Death arrives, her typical horror-stunt unravels into something far more lethal. The tape plays an impossible scene: Jade sprinting through a snowstorm, her scream lost in static as a knife plunges into her chest. The next second, she hears that same scream echo outside her door.
Desperate, she replays the tape, finding it blank, but her home twists against her: lights flicker, mirrors reflect the wrong expressions, and a favorite kitchen knife vanishes. Her once-loyal followers multiply into the millions, demanding more "content" while her reality frays. Is this a sick stalker orchestrating her nightmares, a hallucination born of unraveling sanity, or a mind-bending trick staged by something far darker? Each frantic rewind tightens a loop where Jade might be the next inevitable victim-or the silent predator in her own skin.
As a monstrous winter storm envelops the city, the tape's horrifying predictions begin to consume each frame of Jade's life. Survival means confronting a killer who knows her better than she knows herself. In The Silent Loop, Declan Frost draws readers into a labyrinth of relentless dread, where the lines between victim and villain blur with every scream.
