FBT review:

They tried to sacrifice him. Instead, they made him a weapon.

Killing Rabbit – The Thirteenth Child is a tense Southern Gothic horror thriller set in the haunted heart of New Orleans. Twenty years after a failed cult ritual, Theodore “Rabbit” Roosevelt carries living fire inside him—and the occult order that created him has returned to finish their work.

As white rabbits appear in dark corners, symbols carve themselves into walls, and winter solstice draws near, Rabbit must confront what he is before the ritual is completed and something ancient comes through.

Perfect for fans of indie horror, atmospheric occult thrillers, and authors like Joe Hill, Stephen Graham Jones, and Laird Barron looking for their next addictive ebook.

Publisher Description:

They were supposed to kill him.

Instead, they made him something worse.

Twenty years ago, twelve children burned in ritual fires across Louisiana. Theodore “Rabbit” Roosevelt was meant to be the thirteenth—the final sacrifice that would open a door the cult had been preparing for decades.

He survived.

But the fire didn’t die.

Now it lives inside him—warning him, guiding him… changing him.

Rabbit has spent his life running from what he is. Until New Orleans. Until the crumbling hotel on Chartres Street. Until he finally builds something worth protecting.

Then the signs begin.

White rabbits appearing where they shouldn’t.
Symbols carved into walls overnight.
Messages slipping under locked doors.

The cult has found him.

And this time, they don’t want him dead.

They want him to finish what they started.

With the winter solstice approaching and the people he loves in the crosshairs, Rabbit is forced to confront the truth: the fire inside him was never meant to save his life.

It was meant to be used.

If he can’t stop them, the ritual will be completed.
And Rabbit won’t just lose everything—

He’ll become the thing they created him to be.

A Southern Gothic horror thriller perfect for readers of Joe Hill, Stephen Graham Jones, and Laird Barron.
