Out of Time

surreal horror | haunted house | memory loop

A dead woman haunted by memories…and the house haunted by HER.

Even in death, she can’t escape her father. All she can do is jump from memory to memory—memories her childhood home has of her mother—and try to stay as quiet as possible so he can’t find her. With each journey through the river of time, she feels less of herself and more of…whatever the hell this is. Maybe this is hell. Maybe this is purgatory. Or maybe this is just what death IS: living forever in the memories of your loved ones.

Praise for Out of Time: 

"Felix Graves’ OUT OF TIME is a haunting—literally—tale of heartache and the intertwined realities of memory and grief by turning the story of the ghost in the haunted house on its head. Graves excels at packing a punch in a small package; this story will haunt you, too." -Tyler Battaglia, Author of Pray For Him
