The Follower is a haunting, surreal supernatural thriller that blends the unsettling atmosphere of Twin Peaks with the dark humour and strangeness of Welcome to Night Vale. When Vivian Owens’ twin brother vanishes in Northern California, her search leads her to the isolated town of Mount Hookey—and to the followers of Telos, a mysterious mountain-worshipping cult promising spiritual fulfilment.

As Vivian navigates the town’s eerie residents and the seductive teachings of Telos, reality begins to slip. What starts as a desperate search for her brother turns into something far more unsettling—a confrontation with her own identity, her family’s past, and the nature of belief itself.

Drawn deeper into the cult’s orbit, Vivian realises that her quest is no longer just about finding someone who is lost. It is about uncovering the true meaning of happiness—and facing the chilling secret hidden at the summit of Mount Hookey.

Described as “gripping, compelling and otherworldly” by David Quantick, The Follower is an atmospheric, thought-provoking novel perfect for readers who enjoy literary thrillers, cult fiction, psychological suspense, and uncanny storytelling.
