Local Author Pens Horror Novel in Time for Halloween: The Girl In The Whispers  

SARATOGA SPRINGS —David K. Wilson, author of the popular Sam Lawson Mystery series, has released a new psychological thriller — just in time for Halloween.

 “The idea for this book has literally haunted me for years,” Wilson said in a statement. “It was first conceived as a movie and was close to production when the pandemic shut everything down. It was then that I decided to turn it into a novel. And, since Halloween is my favorite time of year, it’s only fitting that I release it now.”  

 “The Girl in the Whispers,” is the ninth novel by the Saratoga Springs resident, and his first foray into psychological thrillers. 

Wilson is known for his popular Sam Lawson Mystery series, and earlier this year, released “Murder in Spa City,” in which the detective Sam Lawson brings his Texas charm to Saratoga Springs.

“The Girl in the Whispers” tells the story of the emotionally fragile Catherine Devereux, who hears troubling whispers that escalate into ghostly visions, revealing a terrifying secret that could tear her family apart. 

The book was published Oct. 1.
