Visions of a Dark Horizon

Mark your calendars, horror, urban fantasy, and crime fans—the wait is over! The release date for my brand-new supernatural thriller is locked in!

Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit—Book One in the Providence SCU series—hits the shelves on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from Perspective Publishing! Bookstores can begin placing orders starting September 2, 2025, so get ready to haunt your favorite local shop.

Here’s what author Ricardo D. Rebelo (Intrusive Thoughts) had to say:

“Anctil is one of those horror writers who knows how to get under your skin and stay there. His stories don’t just scare—they unsettle. Anctil blends atmosphere, psychology, and shock with precision…he has a knack for finding the pulse of fear: the vulnerable point where innocence, trust, or familiarity turns dark.”

What’s waiting for you inside?

Officer Mary Riley thought she understood the job—until one night in Providence changed everything. A scream in the dark leads her to a blood-soaked house and a discovery that will shatter everything she believes about reality.

Drawn into the shadows of the city she loves, Riley is recruited into a secret police unit that handles cases no one else can solve: possessions, dark magic, creatures from beyond, and crimes that defy reason. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes the real danger isn’t what lurks in the dark—it’s the secrets her own department is desperate to keep buried.

If you love The X-Files, True Detective, or Supernatural, this book is for you. Fast-paced, chilling, and steeped in atmosphere, Providence: Supernatural Crimes Unit will pull you into the heart of Providence—and keep you there long after you’ve turned the last page.
