About The Nudge by Joseph Fink

A wounded man arrives at a remote roadside hotel late at night, fleeing an influence he believes has attached itself to him. As he tells the proprietor how his life came apart, he recounts unsettling changes in his wife, sudden violence, and a search for recovery that did not last.

Joseph Fink’s horror novella builds its suspense around an evil that does not command or force, but whispers and nudges people toward harmful choices. Readers drawn to slow-burn psychological thrillers, eerie roadside settings, and stories that leave uncertainty about how far danger can follow will find those elements here. The book also features original illustrations by Jessica Hayworth, an artist associated with the Welcome to Night Vale series.
