The Garrison Project

From the acclaimed author of “Mr. 8” comes a new novella that twists found-footage horror into an exploration of obsession and the terrifying need to find meaning in what we see. The Garrison Project is a contemporary ghost story as only David J. Thirteen could imagine.

No one knows more about urban legends than Molly Heyworth. She’s been studying them for years, hoping to discover a story at the moment it makes the leap from a real-life event to a macabre folktale. When she comes across the Garrison’s video blog, Molly believes her search is over.

The tapes begin with a young couple fixing up their dream house, but events take an eerie turn when a hidden room is found where no room should exist. After the discovery, their home improvements fade into the background as accidents and family tragedies take centerstage.

The videos create an intimate window into the couple’s fracturing relationship and Molly is unable to turn away. The more she watches, the more she sees herself reflected back on the screen. But as she examines every frame and pixel, something is gazing back at her from those captured images of the past  — something seeking a new victim to prey upon.
