Red-Eye Event

Red-Eye Event

A festival. A legend. A viral video that changes everything.

The videos started as a curiosity—red eyes beneath West Virginia's iconic bridge. Now they're a viral sensation drawing crowds to Bridge Day festival. Special Response Division agent Mara Bishop recognizes the signs: someone is manufacturing monsters from collective belief.

Haunted by memories of another viral tragedy, Mara arrives to find a community intoxicated by its own legend.

Festival-goers chase sightings. Influencers livestream their terror. Beneath the carnival atmosphere, something ancient stirs, feeding on every post, every hashtag, every trembling witness.

As digital hysteria reaches critical mass, Mara uncovers a chilling pattern.

This isn't random. Someone has turned social media into a summoning circle, and the festival is ground zero. The countdown has begun. Each notification brings the nightmare closer to taking flight.

Can Mara break the viral spell before a town's excitement becomes its epitaph? Or will she learn that in the age of instant sharing, nightmares spread faster than truth?

Download now and discover why some legends should never trend.

Michael Todd

with Michael Anderle

Hello, my name is Michael Todd and I'm a fun-loving guy who writes full-time for a living.

Protected by the Damned (and other stories I might place here) are some of my 'other things' I work on when I take a break from other authoring responsibilities.

In other words, when I'm playing Hookey.

In order to separate what has become a HUGE wall of books and get a chance to play again, I've snuck out of my real author name and built this pen name to have some fun at the small level once more.

I hope you like these stories as we build new fans and family moving forward with Protected by the Damned.

This Coke is for You!
