The Newspaperman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781981783281)

The News is Dying. And It's Taking You With It.Seth Kesler is a man of the old world. A writer in Champaign-Urbana with a master's degree in communications, he still finds comfort in the smell of fresh ink and the weight of a morning daily. So when the defunct C-U Journal is resurrected by the enigmatic and predatory Richard W. Fields, Seth wants to believe it's a sign of hope.He couldn't be more wrong.The men delivering the paper aren't just newsies-they are shadows of a dark regime. Led by the manic Cedrick and the haunting, pallid "Skeleton Man," the staff of the Journal seems to know more about Seth's life than his own neighbors. As the headlines devolve into grotesque recipes, sensationalist violence, and blatant lies, Seth realizes the paper isn't just reporting on the town's decay-it's orchestrating it. When his mentor is found dead and a fraudulent, vitriolic letter appears under Seth's own byline, the search for truth becomes a desperate fight for survival. From a blood-red door in a silent warehouse to a luxury jet where the past never stays buried, Seth and his wife, Meghan, are pulled into a web of ink and agony. In a world of "fake news," the most terrifying stories are the ones written in your own blood.
