In The Last Story, we enter the tortured mind of Harold Truman, a once-celebrated mystery author now crippled by writer’s block and haunted by the creeping fear that his career—and sanity—are nearing their end.

Harold retreats to a remote seaside cottage, hoping the isolation will help him finish his new book. But the quiet is soon disturbed by strange occurrences: a typewriter that clacks on its own in the dead of night, pages filled with words he doesn’t remember writing.
