“It’s a wonderful page turner and will have you questioning the finale until the VERY end. Such a magnificent debut novel. Definitely looking forward to any future writings by Gabriel!”
— Goodreads reviewer
“One of the most gripping novels I've read this year! The sense of eeriness and dread in Sandhaven felt so real, I was anxious to see what would happen next.”
— Goodreads reviewer
“The atmosphere is heavy and tense from start to finish, with horror that feels more psychological than flashy. The characters are deeply flawed and morally gray, and their choices carry real weight.”
— Goodreads reviewer
“Banebirth provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect for anyone who has felt lost and disconnected from their family, their community, and each of their respective histories.”
— Goodreads reviewer
“Banebirth was truly like nothing else I’ve read before. It left me a lot to think about and I can’t wait to see what else Gabriel has in store for the future.”

Soll Casey stole his brother’s future the night he caused the accident that left him maimed. In an attempt at redemption, Soll steals again. This time, he sets his sights on his brother’s discarded screenplay, Banebirth, a brilliant allegory of the conflicts plaguing their gentrified town. If he can convince the power players transforming Sandhaven to endorse it, a golden opportunity awaits: a chance to become the hometown hero and the champion of his brother's talent.
But something else has arrived with the new neighbors.
A specter roams the woods. It stalks locals. It torments transplants. Suspicion mounts between the newcomers and the longtime residents as accusations of terrorism fly between them.
Desperate not to lose his opportunity amid the unraveling social chaos, Soll continues his pursuit, only to discover Sandhaven's more insidious threat. An ancient, supernatural presence has taken root, inflaming the unrest and festering the wounds of contention. With violence threatening to erupt, Soll must resolve the rifts and confront the monstrous entity before it destroys Sandhaven entirely.
