Mouth of Abaddon

A name is a key. And some doors should never be unlocked.

When a violent storm uncovers a sealed crypt beneath a crumbling Welsh monastery, linguist and historian Dr. Elijah Cross is called to investigate. But what begins as a scholarly pursuit quickly descends into a nightmare. Carvings older than language. A hum that burrows into the skull. And a name-Abaddon-that should never be spoken.

People begin to vanish, their voices trapped in the static of an ancient presence awakening beneath the earth. With the help of sound expert Priya Anand and the reluctant aid of a haunted nun, Elijah races to decode a forgotten ritual hidden in a crumbling tome. But the entity, known only as the Mouth Before Light, feeds on voice and thrives in silence. And its true name is deadlier than they imagined.

To stop it, someone must pay the ultimate price.

The Mouth of Abaddon is a slow-burn theological horror thriller exploring language as power, the terror of unseen forces, and the cost of curiosity. Fans of The Ritual, House of Leaves, and The Silent Patient will find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of dread, faith, and the echo of voices never meant to be heard.
