Relentless

Fearless

Merciless

Offworld

ROBIN PARRISH

To my brother Ross, who has never once
stopped believing in me.

`Whatever else a ghost' may be, it is probably
one of the most complex phenomena in nature."

FREDERIC W. H. MYERS
Founder, Society for Psychical Research
circa 1882

"Doesn't matter who you are or what you believe. Everybody has
a ghost story."

My father said those words to me as a child whenever I would
question his life's work. Scratch that. His life's obsession.

I came to learn that he was right. Everybody has had at least
one of those moments when their insides say something's happening that's far outside of normal. A fleeting second when something is seen moving out of the corner of their eye. A prick at the
back of the neck alerting them to a presence. A location that for
no discernible reason fills them with dread.

I had plenty of my own stories of ghosts and the paranormal.
As Maia Peters, daughter of the famous Malcolm and Carmen
Peters, it was to be expected. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the paranormal. One warm night in New
York City, I found out just how wrong I was.

A sign just inches from my face read "YOU WILL BE TERRIFIED" in a scrawled typeface. The words were blood red, splattered
in a sloppy fashion across a plank of rotted wood.
