Description
Sheila McDaniel thought she was helping people.
Working from home as a crisis hotline counselor gave her purpose, direction-maybe even redemption. But when she meets Karen, a fellow operator with charm and secrets in equal measure, everything starts to unravel.
Calls blur into paranoia. Rules are bent, then broken. And Karen's voice becomes louder than her own.
As Sheila spirals into delusion and fear, she turns on the only good man in her life-her husband, Paul-using the very training meant to save lives to destroy his.
By the time she sees the truth, it may be too late.
And some escapes don't lead to freedom... they lead to the end.
Hotline of Hell is a haunting psychological thriller about trust, madness, and how far we'll go to believe the lies we need.

Person
Michael Slabicki crafts fiction with the precision of a poet and the soul of a witness-drawing from a life shaped by geography, movement, and deep human observation. Born in upstate New York and raised across the United States as the son of a military family, he absorbed the quiet rhythms of small towns, the solitude of northern woods, the weight of southern skies, and the intimacy of place. Now rooted in South Carolina, his stories bear the layered textures of every landscape he's called home.
His work defies formula, yet always returns to the core of what makes a story matter: people. With emotional honesty and immersive detail, Michael writes characters who are flawed but faithful, weary but still reaching-individuals whose journeys echo the reader's own. Whether unfolding through a slow-burning romance, a quiet redemption, or a deep spiritual reckoning, his narratives feel lived-in and quietly revelatory.
Slabicki's prose is unhurried but relentless, inviting readers not only to feel, but to reflect-to linger in moments that most writers rush past. He doesn't just tell stories. He builds lives, moment by moment, with a rare steadiness and conviction that is felt long after the final page.
