“The Pressure” unfolds a haunting narrative centered around Trevor, whose very essence undergoes a malevolent transformation with each change in the weather. In those fleeting hours, which can extend to agonizing days, Trevor is consumed by a torrent of anger and violence, leaving his loved ones grappling with the aftermath.
As the story unravels against the backdrop of the fiercest winter storm to pummel upper Ohio since 1978, the Wendt family finds themselves thrust into a chilling predicament. While the community braces for the impending tempest, the Wendts brace for something far more sinister within the confines of their home – the harrowing manifestation of their son’s pain and rage.
In a race against time and nature, the family strives to prepare for the storm on two fronts – one external, the other internal. While others secure their homes with heaters and stockpile provisions, the Wendts navigate the treacherous waters of Trevor’s tormented psyche, unaware that the impending storm carries with it a darkness that transcends the limits of their imagination.
“The Pressure” is a riveting exploration of the fragile boundary between nature’s fury and the storm that rages within, weaving a tale of suspense, familial bonds stretched to their limits, and the ominous secrets that lie beneath the surface.
About the Author
Bryan Wayne Dull writes books, which, if you really knew him, makes perfect sense as that’s all he has done since sixth grade; spinning a yarn at a moment’s notice. He is best known for writing horror and suspense stories with his first novel, Solstice, being his first experiment into publishing; it was a bet to do it, by the way. In 2016, he tried his hand at something different and published a personal story, Pill Hill, and the award winning, Small Hearts. He lives in Fort Wayne, IN with his wife and daughter, and plans on writing more stories that have something to say in this strange world that we live in.
His first novel, “Solstice” is a vampire book inspired by his daughter and noir literature. Shortly afterwards, the sequel to Solstice, “Equinox” was released. After a few short stories published on Amazon independently, Bryan decided that he needed to move away from the horror and work on a story that was more personal, and in that time Pill Hill was written. Pill Hill reached out to an untapped audience and focused on mental health issues which is rare for any author to tackle head on. He decided to tell another personal story later with the paranormal novel, “Small Hearts, which has earned him many accolades.
In 2019, Dull begun writing the end of the Solstice series with a third entry, tentatively called “Ecliptic”, and the fourth, “Celestial”, to complete the saga
Born in Anderson, IN, Bryan has also lived in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina (where “Solstice” is based).
Being a lover of all things art and pop culture “nerdism”; his interests lie in film, television, comics, games, anime, and books. For a short while, Bryan dabbled in voice acting work only to shift his focus to his family and writing. His favorite authors include Chuck Palahniuk, Robert Kirkman, Clive Barker, Ernest Cline, and Neil Gaiman.
