Dear Readers,

I have something thrilling—and a little chilling—to share with you. After years out of print, my supernatural novella once known as The Ripper is finally back in the world… but with a new face, a new title, and a dark new energy.

Introducing Descendant — a supernatural suspense thriller that digs deep into the shadows of history and unearths the terrifying question: What if evil is passed down through blood?

This story means a great deal to me. It was one of the earliest works I wrote that truly explored my love for mystery, horror, and the unknown. For a long time, the story lived in silence, tucked away in old files and memory. But some stories don’t like to stay buried—and this one clawed its way back to the surface. So I gave it new life.

Now available on all major eBook platforms—Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Nook, and more—Descendant invites you into a modern-day nightmare rooted in one of the darkest legends of all time: Jack the Ripper. But this isn’t just a rehash of the past. This is what happens after.

Set in present-day Florida, the story follows a father and daughter drawn into a gruesome pattern of killings eerily similar to those committed in 1888 London. But this time, the murders are personal. And as the investigation unfolds, they discover that blood isn’t just thicker than water—it remembers.

If you enjoy eerie atmospheres, dark family secrets, ghostly echoes, and that slow-creeping dread that crawls up your spine, I think you’ll feel right at home in the world of Descendant. And let me be clear:

This is not for the faint of heart.

As I republish this story under my name, I can’t help but dream bigger. In my heart, I’ve always imagined Descendant on screen—a suspenseful, shadowy thriller with fog-laced flashbacks, tormented spirits, and a bloodline no one wants to inherit.

What a film it could be.

 Maybe someday. Maybe soon.

Until then, I invite you to read it, share it, and tell others about it. Stories like this were meant to be felt in the dark.

Thank you all for your continued support, encouragement, and love for storytelling. This is only the beginning.

With chills and gratitude,

Luis Ammerman
