Emmitsville was built on rot. Now it’s coming back up through the floorboards. It begins with an act of violence no one wants to explain—and it doesn’t stop. Bodies follow. Some broken. Some burned. Some left in ways that defy reason and choke the town with fear. What looks like madness, accident, or suicide is something far worse: a reckoning. An old force, born of power, resentment, buried crimes, and ideology has risen from the town’s past. It moves unseen. It feeds on rage, grief, and denial. And it doesn’t kill cleanly. It punishes. It’s testing limits. Choosing vessels. And deciding how much suffering will finally be enough.
Retribution is a savage supernatural horror novel where vengeance replaces justice, silence becomes complicity, and evil doesn’t knock—it takes what it’s owed. The question isn’t whether the town will survive.
It’s what will be left when the accounting is done.
