Rye Nova by K.M. Greffe

Rye Nova has suffered with visions and night-terrors for most of his life. Striving to control his PTSD anxiety, Mama Reese and Turnip his dog, continue to act as a ballast in Rye's guarded world. Recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, Rye struggles with his purpose and future. If that were not enough of a burden, - now he is hearing voices. Following a chance encounter with Evelyn Sterling- who has her own experience in 'jabbering' – Rye now has an ally to assist in navigating this new ability. When three women go missing in Rye's newly adopted city of New Orleans, he half-heartedly looks into the disappearances as a way to keep busy. That is when he is not attending a shady poker game. Both activities being thinly veiled attempts to distract his mind from the creature growing in his head. Between what Rye sees in his terror-visions and hears in his troubled mind, will he know enough to stop the misguided drive of the killer?
