Infos

When Emery Harrow returns to her family's crumbling ancestral estate, she expects mold, shadows, and maybe a few ghost stories best left untold. What she doesn't expect is the ledger hidden within the rotting walls - a sinister book that doesn't record money owed but lives forgotten, memories erased, and entire bloodlines wiped clean to pay debts no one remembers making.Each name the House devours makes it stronger, hungrier, and more determined to collect what it believes it's owed. Payment isn't made in coins - it's made in blood, sanity, and the quiet unraveling of everything you thought you knew about your own history.As the house sighs through old floorboards and whispers behind mirrors that shouldn't remember her face, Emery must unearth secrets that generations died to keep buried. Because some debts are born with you, whether you ask for them or not - and once the ledger opens, it will not close again until every name is accounted for.The Quiet Debt is a chilling, slow-burn thriller about what we inherit, what we bury, and what never, ever stays dead. It will linger in your mind long after the final page - like a promise whispered in the dark that one day, the House will come calling for you, too.

Autor

Wilson McFoster writes the stories that haunt you long after the last page turns. An emerging voice in modern gothic thrillers and layered romance, Wilson’s fiction pulses with psychological suspense, hidden debts, and raw emotional truth. His debut novel, The Quiet Debt, follows Emery Harrow as she unearths a sinister family ledger inside a crumbling estate — a book that records not money owed, but lives erased and memories traded for survival. With each name struck out, the House grows stronger, and Emery must confront the horrors sealed behind its walls before the debt comes to collect her, too. Wilson’s works-in-progress explore equally rich terrain: a sweeping coastal romance about second chances and buried secrets, and a dual-timeline thriller that weaves modern crime with ancient folklore. Across thrillers and romances alike, his stories share a signature style: slow-burn dread, lyrical atmosphere, strong female leads, and the timeless ache of what we inherit versus what we bury. Self-taught but shaped by workshops and critique circles, Wilson is always learning — from classic literature, forgotten folklore, real-world observation, and the whispered tales he picks up on his travels. His mission is simple: to keep readers breathless, hopeful, and just a little afraid to turn off the light. Some stories vanish when the book closes. They wait for you in the dark.
