Truborn Press Signs L. Stephenson for the Republishing of The Boy at No. 9 Whitlock

Tacoma, WA – Truborn Press is pleased to announce the signing of author L. Stephenson for the forthcoming republication of the haunting horror novella The Boy at No. 9 Whitlock.

Set for a tentative release in August 2026, this atmospheric tale blends the tenderness of a coming-of-age story with the creeping dread of long-buried secrets. Pitched in the vein of A Boy’s Life and The Lovely Bones, the novella transports readers to a quiet English village in the summer of 1996, where a troubled boy’s search for connection awakens not only painful truths—but also something far darker that should have remained hidden.

The Boy at No. 9 Whitlock promises a poignant mix of innocence, fear, tears, and unsettling revelations that linger long after the last page. Readers should prepare themselves for a journey that is as emotionally moving as it is chilling.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Louis to our weird little family,” said the Truborn Press team. “This novella embodies the kind of powerful, unconventional horror that we love to champion. For everyone else…don’t forget to embrace your strange.”
