ATLANTA, GA - In a sleepy town with a name that whispers nostalgia, something unholy stirs beneath the pews and pine trees. William Gamsby’s The Church in Wildwood: Hell is Near is a riveting, genre-defying thriller that blends small-town Americana with chilling apocalyptic prophecy. With sharp prose and an unrelenting pace, this novel grips readers by the soul and refuses to let go.
Set in the seemingly quaint town of Wildwood, the story unearths the eerie silence left behind by a beloved pastor's death and the shadowy forces eager to reclaim sacred ground. But when a reluctant heir returns—armed only with faith, intellect, and a mysterious sword hilt—the battle between good and evil shifts underground, quite literally.
And the entrance to hell? ... Might be closer than you think!
Where Faith Meets Fire
Gamsby’s Wildwood isn’t Mayberry—it’s a spiritual battleground.
With the instincts of a seasoned thriller writer and the conviction of a Sunday preacher, Gamsby constructs a chilling narrative of ancient bloodlines, secret societies, and the spiritual forces vying for dominion. NEVOC, an alleged environmental group, arrives with a false message of harmony. But beneath their rhetoric lies a darker truth—one that threatens not just the church, but the soul of the town.
In the middle of it all stands Russell, a scholar turned spiritual warrior, who must unlock a biblical prophecy hidden in plain sight. Guided by mysterious journals, ancient gemstones, coded messages, and divine visions, he uncovers a lineage of Levi—keepers of a defensive sword, and guardians of a threshold between this world and the next.
This is spiritual warfare disguised as mystery; theology wrapped in thriller; a battle cry for the believing heart. If The Da Vinci Code collided with This Present Darkness, this would be the result.
Why This Story Is Timely
In a culture growing colder to the supernatural realities of faith and evil, The Church in Wildwood: Hell is Near is a wake-up call, cleverly disguised as fiction. It reminds us that belief has a cost, that truth must be defended, and that not all battles are fought in daylight.
The novel explores spiritual apathy, political deception, and moral erosion—through an unforgettable cast of townspeople, pastors, and prophets. But above all, it is a story of redemption, courage, and divine inheritance.
As Pastor Grey writes in a note from beyond the grave:
“I am giving you the keys to hell itself. Yes, hell is real.”
