The Sound of Suffering
Malcolm Turner has suffered from what he thought was tinnitus all his life. Of late, the episodes make him feel like his brain is bleeding, depriving him of sleep and working away at his already faltering marriage and stale career. Little hope remains.
Desperation leads him to a chatroom and a group of similar folks who call themselves 'The Undertones.' After a series of shared experiences, the group contemplate that this bane of their lives may not be a curse but a gift-- free-thinking radicals picking up on something other than the grind of the machine. As sinister events begin to unfold around the world, 'The Undertones' become convinced that this noise in their ears might hold the key to these horrors. Malcolm has already tasted grief, but the stakes are as high as they come this time. Will he get answers before his world comes tumbling down?

Malcolm has lived his whole life with the hum in his head. Doctors have termed it as “tinnitus,” but he’s just not sure. As the years go by, the hum begins to take over his life. He can’t sleep. He can’t function. And still the hum grows and grows.
As his life falls apart, he finds an online chat forum with others who hear the hum. Malcolm feels an instant connection as they all attempt to figure out the true meaning of the hum. But as the world comes crashing down around them, is it too late?
Yet another fantastic read from Mark Towse! The characters jump out of the page and you feel like you’re living with the hum right along with them!
