FOLLOW HIM OR DIE.

When The Speaker posts, his followers must listen ... no matter the consequences.

Exposed as the masked social media influencer The Speaker by shy misfit Crystal, Aaron Fortin embarks on an insidious campaign to erase her - permanently.

Having already committed multiple brutal murders to try and feel some form of emotion, he charms and recruits Crystal's friends as his latest loyal followers. Aaron's influence is powerful and wide-reaching, and so begins his deadliest and most gruesome plan yet.

But has Aaron underestimated quiet Crystal? And can she stop him before it's too late?

A dark and twisted psychological horror for fans of You, from Bram Stoker Award-winning author Adam Cesare, adapted from the Audible Original.

'Sizzling writing and a skin-crawling story make Influencer one of the most addictive horror novels I've read. It's deeply uncomfortable, deeply perceptive, and deliciously fun.' ? Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author of The Whispering Dead

NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER READERS: contains strong violence and themes some readers may find disturbing
