Somewhere by Matthew Reed Williams is a supernatural tale that will leave you shivering. Lee Thompson has not long graduated from college. When he relocates to a town called Somewhere, deep in rural Missouri, he finds himself caught up in a series of strange events – the town is not what it seems at first glance. He begins to have visions of a hanged woman, and something is on the move in his apartment at night. As he builds relationships with the locals, he also uncovers some dark secrets – slavery and cruelty are at the very foundations of Somewhere. Can Lee escape from the horrors of the past, or will he be caught up forever by a sinister force?

Somewhere by Matthew Reed Williams is an eerie thriller that will hook you right from the first page. This unique story is a very clever blend of supernatural and horror, and the suspense builds up, dragging you into the story.
