A Flicker in the Dark is a haunting psychological thriller that blurs the line between past trauma and present danger. Twenty years ago, a small Louisiana town was devastated when six teenage girls went missing. The case ended with one man behind bars—Chloe Davis’s father. Now, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge, preparing for her wedding and trying to maintain balance. But when local teens begin disappearing again, the echoes of her childhood come rushing back. Is history repeating itself, or is Chloe trapped in a cycle she cannot escape? With mounting dread and chilling revelations, this story explores memory, trust, and the price of living in the shadows of secrets. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and impossible to pause, it’s a reminder that the past is never fully buried—it flickers until it’s faced.
