Description
“Clever, fast paced... an effectively chilling movie-in-the-mind” – New York Times
The Nightmare of a mind gone mad…
When Jeff Lisker’s father passes away, he finds himself returning to his hometown.
A successful Californian businessman, Jeff falls into the past, remembering his old friend Georgianne Slaton.
Unearthing old memories, he decides to seek her out, where she now lives in the suburbs with her husband and daughter. He visits the family, using the guise of his work to spend some time in Danbury. There he finds Georgianne happily married, much to his dismay.
Rekindling their friendship, Jeff soon finds himself obsessed with Georgianne, and is convinced she is meant to be with him.
Now he realises that he must possess her…
At whatever cost.
Rapture is a gripping horror thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King and Mark Edwards.
