As Hurricane Caleb slams into the small town of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, twenty-four-year-old Liam weathers personal storms in his own life. Reeling from an unexpected tragedy, he wanders the coast like an invisible man. He lives largely unnoticed, save for his friend, Aubrey, and her mother who lives with dialysis. As the threat of the storm draws closer, eerie encounters and strange dreams awaken old traumatic memories for each of them in a Low Country haunted by a few old ghosts of its own...

Based on one of the most famous spirit tales of the Carolinas, Gray Man is a quick and engaging read with a fast-paced plot, interesting, complex characters, and powerful themes of love, loss, and friendship. This poignant novella is a love letter to Pawleys Island that might just leave you with a few new thoughts on an old legend...

Industry Reviews

"Not only does he expand on my very favorite South Carolina ghost story, Van Bulck brings the Gray Man into the twenty-first century-because people today need him just as much as those in the past. This tale twists and turns like a scrub pine in a hurricane, making it a thoroughly entertaining romp."

-Carla Damron, author of The Stone Necklace (Blurb, back of book)

"Captured...the depictions and stories of the Gray Man perfectly."

-Heather L. Barksdale, author of Arriving Through Time

"Likable and warmly written...a worthwhile read that would be enjoyed by those looking for a well-crafted story with kind characters."

-Literary Quicksand

ï»"The story inhabits a liminal space between the ordinary and the extraordinary, never resting in one place, and Marc writes beautifully while doing that difficult balancing act."

-Joshua Jenkins, English Faculty, Gardiner Area High School
