A reclusive man receiving otherworldly guidance. A small, unlikely band of young believers. In pursuit of a cosmic mystery, one by one they vanish. 

West Hollywood. Miles “Mori” Morhart has given up on life, hiding from the world and doing everything he can to just stay numb. When a disembodied voice calls out to him with dire warnings about his future, the rattled forty-something loner takes a chance and confides in his alluring neighbor.  

To his surprise, the radiant woman insists on helping him and convinces her inner circle of hip companions to join the cause. Their quest at first seems strange and wondrous, but takes a menacing turn when the group uncovers signs that they’ve attracted the attention of someone–or something–malevolent and dangerous. 

As the shadows close around him and his new friends, Mori must either confront the darkness he has summoned…or be consumed by it.

Mixing suspenseful mystery with ghostly magical realism, Michael Seagard weaves threads of the classic macabre into contemporary themes of urban isolation, loss, and longing. As he examines the spiritual and emotional rifts in his protagonist, Seagard reveals a stirring vision of tragedy, sacrifice, and redemption. 

Mori is the emotionally haunting first book in The Lost Ones series, where the ordinary world collides with the paranormal and the fantastic. If you like unexpected heroes, heartfelt human drama, and splashes of the supernatural, then you’ll love this genre-bending page-turner.
