Howard Gregory

    Greg Howard puise son inspiration dans la côte de la Caroline du Sud, qu'il surnomme avec humour «l'aisselle du Sud américain». Son éducation dans cette région, connue comme la «Capitale des Fantômes du Sud», a alimenté son imagination débordante. S'échappant d'un foyer strictement religieux par diverses formes d'art, il a ensuite poursuivi une carrière dans l'industrie musicale. Désormais, Howard revient à la fiction, mêlant magistralement des éléments paranormaux à une profonde compréhension de la psychologie humaine, reflétant souvent son lien profond avec ses racines côtières.

Eleven-year-old Riley believes in the whispers, magical fairies that will grant you wishes if you leave them tributes. Riley has a lot of wishes. He wishes bullies at school would stop picking on him. He wishes Dylan, his 8th grade crush, liked him, and Riley wishes he would stop wetting the bed. But most of all, Riley wishes for his mom to come back home. She disappeared a few months ago, and Riley is determined to crack the case. He even meets with a detective, Frank, to go over his witness statement time and time again. Frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation, Riley decides to take matters into his own hands. So he goes on a camping trip with his friend Gary to find the whispers and ask them to bring his mom back home.
