InhalationMichael BoulericePaperback“A fresh and masterful exploration of what it means to be haunted." ―B.R. Yeager, author of Negative Space With only weeks left to live, retired auto body mechanic Milo St. Lawrence refuses the option of hospice care in California and returns to the forgotten New England home where his family was destroyed. Dying of cancer and haunted by fragmented memories, Milo believes he must confront something buried in the shadows of the past before death claims him. Confined to a hospital bed inside the half-rotten structure once called home, repressed childhood memories resurface. One by one, he recalls his siblings’ mysterious illnesses, his parents’ rigid Catholic faith, and the cult-like devotion that replaced medical care with prayer. He remembers watching his estranged sister Marie speak to an imaginary friend in the corner of the living room―and how their parents eventually began communing with it too. As the past and present collide, Milo remembers the night he fled. The night Marie revealed the truth about the many-limbed caterpillar man and the alien hookah device that had siphoned the life from the St. Lawrence children for decades. Armed only with his engineering skills and a dying man’s resolve, Milo devises a plan to modify the supernatural parasite’s hookah for human operation in a desperate attempt to siphon the monster's life from the device before he becomes its final offering. Blending cosmic horror and psychological terror, Inhalation is a haunting exploration of family tragedy, corrupted faith, and the monstrous forces that lurk in the corners of darkened rooms.
InhalationMichael BoulericeAudiobookRetired auto body mechanic Milo St. Laurence is dying of cancer in a California hospital. He has weeks left to live. Instead of wasting away in a hospice, Milo travels to New England, wishing to spend his remaining time in the long-abandoned house his parents and all but one of his nine brothers and sisters died in. Some of his memories of home have become muddled over the years, but Milo can' t shake the feeling that he needs to do something important before he checks out, but can' t seem to figure out what, or why. While Milo lays in a hospital bed in the half-rotten structure he once shared with his family, his memories begin to return. He remembers being obsessed with the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland as a boy. He remembers working at his father' s auto body shop as a young man. He remembers his siblings becoming sick with unexplainable illnesses, one after the other. He remembers how his parents, strict Catholics, refused to get any of them medical care, insisting God would save them if it was His will. He remembers watching his estranged sister Marie talk to an imaginary friend in corner of the living room. He remembers his parents started talking to the imaginary friend, too. Milo finally unlocks the repressed memory of night he ran screaming from the house and never returned, when Marie revealed the thing in the corner she and her parents had been communing with for years; the many-limbed caterpillar man, with his glowing eyes, and the alien hookah device he used to slowly suck the life out of the St. Lawrence children over a span of decades. Finally understanding his purpose for being back at the house, Milo enacts a wild plan to use his engineering skills to modify the monster' s hookah for human operation, and use it to inhale the life smoke out of it, before it can do the same to him.
