Whispers of Apple Blossoms
Brett Mitchell Kent
A love story spanning decades. A lonely widow mourning her husband and daughter. A trail of missing people, all leading to one unpredictable source. Edna Mann, a lonely widow longing for the family she’s lost, finds companionship in an unlikely source when her late husband communicates with her through her houseplant. As those around her begin to disappear, Edna must confront the reality that something much worse may be at play… and has been for longer than she could have ever expected. An atmospheric and haunting tale of love, heartache, fear, and obsession. The warped reality of an elderly woman filled with regret interlaces with the story of the past she desperately longs to relive. Whispers of Apple Blossoms is as romantic as it is heartbreakingly sinister and, as each petal falls, pulls you further into the darkness and toward the unforgettable finale.

"Deftly wielding both lyricism and suspense, Kent shows us that love and loss often bloom from the same branch in this masterfully crafted tale." - Steve Neal, author of To Love a Dying World
"Whispers of Apple Blossoms arranges a bouquet of suspense, family drama, and horror that is equally lovely and terrifying. Kent's range is incredible as he takes the reader from the safety of a picturesque love story and into the dark, gnarled depths where unexpected twists and turns seem to sprout and bloom every few pages. " - Emma E. Murray, author of Crushing Snails
"Complex, riveting, and satisfying. All in equal measures. Brett Mitchell Kent's literary debut is an impressive work of fiction that blows the doors off the horror genre." - Elton Skelter, author of Next of Kin
