Dust
In the scorching heart of Arizona, the Walters family sought a fresh start, trading the familiar comforts of Connecticut for what they hoped would be a new beginning. But their affordable new home and sun-drenched landscape quickly turn into a living nightmare when an unprecedented dust storm descends upon Phoenix.
As temperatures soar to unimaginable highs and the city is swallowed by a colossal wall of dust, Ralph, Sarah, and their two daughters find themselves trapped, isolated, and losing power. But the storm isn't just a natural disaster; it's a cover for something ancient and malevolent stirred from its millennia-long slumber in the deep desert.
When strange sounds begin to echo from outside and a blood-soaked figure appears at their door, Ralph must confront a terrifying truth: they are not alone. Trapped in their own home as the entity known only in ancient folklore as the Si-Te-Cah-the Red-Haired Giants-breaches their defenses, Ralph must fight not just for survival against the elements, but against a primeval predator bent on reclaiming its hunting grounds.
Perfect for fans of intense creature features, survival horror, and thrillers that blend natural disaster with ancient mythology. "Dust" will leave you breathless and questioning what truly lurks in the untouched corners of our world.

Hi, I'm Jason.
A Phoenix-based author who writes emotionally grounded fiction with a dark, speculative edge, grounded in the real places we turn to for escape. A financial IT professional by day and storyteller by heart, I try to blend the real and the surreal?crafting stories where ordinary people are forced to survive the extraordinary.
My debut novella, For After, was born from a thought while on a family trip to Disney World and shaped by the memory of his father's love for the park and the constant fear of wanting to protect his children. What started as a quiet "what if?" grew into a visceral story of grief, survival, and the fragile magic we hold onto when everything falls apart.
When I am not writing or working, I enjoys traveling, discovering new foods, exploring Phoenix and AZ, and volunteering alongside my amazing wife, kids, and our 3 rescue dogs. I believes the best stories are the ones that linger?just like the places we can't forget.
