This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. From his study window in Providence, a young writer of weird tales grows obsessed with a great black church abandoned on a far hill — its steeple shunned by every soul in the neighborhood, its doors sealed for two generations. Drawn at last to cross the city and breach that silence, he uncovers the relics of a vanished cult and a strange gleaming stone that seems to drink the light. But some things were locked away precisely to keep them sleeping, and as a summer storm gathers to plunge the city into blackout, the writer learns far too late what stirs in that lightless tower — and what it has begun to seek across the rooftops of the night.
