Deathly Visions: Black Prophecies Series
Dean Malcolm begins to experience troubling premonitions from his brief death following a shooting at his workplace in New York City. These premonitions alert him to impending tragedies that will occur to others around him, which he struggles to understand. His journey of self-discovery leads him to confront his abilities and the impact they have on his life and the lives of others. Each vision leaves him feeling more isolated and desperate to find a way to change the fate of those he sees in danger. He moved to the Outer Banks where he meets a beautiful Hispanic woman named Amelia Lopez who has her own minor premonitions. She begins to provide emotional support for Dean and begins walking through each premonition at his side.
A psychiatrist named Doctor Ascott pressures Dean to visit his Psychiatric facility to allow him to expose Dean to some unconventional and possible dangerous testing to understand what is causing Deans premonitions.
Dean receives an offer from Alberto Black, who wants to recruit him and Amelia to work together in a team of individuals with special abilities to help solve crimes. This opportunity presents a chance for Dean to use his premonitions for good, but it also raises concerns about their safety and the nature of their work.

Deathly Visions is a gripping and emotionally charged supernatural thriller that transcends typical “visions” stories to explore trauma, responsibility, and the human need for connection. Terry R. King immerses readers in Dean Malcolm’s world, a man whose life is forever changed after surviving a near-fatal shooting. Dean awakens with premonitions of tragedies affecting those around him, a gift or curse that leaves him drained, fearful, and isolated. Each vision carries emotional weight, forcing Dean to grapple not only with the danger he foresees but also with the burden of knowing what others cannot.
The story shifts beautifully when Dean moves to the Outer Banks, offering him physical and emotional space to breathe. The coastal setting mirrors his internal journey, a symbolic landscape for reflection, healing, and the possibility of hope. Here, he meets Amelia Lopez, a character whose minor premonitions and unwavering empathy provide both emotional support and a genuine connection. Their bond develops organically, creating warmth and balance amid the suspenseful tension of Dean’s experiences. Amelia isn’t just a companion she becomes an anchor, showing how trust, understanding, and shared struggles can illuminate even the darkest moments.
Tension escalates through Doctor Ascott, whose cold curiosity and push for experimental testing place Dean in morally and physically dangerous territory. Ascott reminds the reader that human threats can be as terrifying as supernatural ones. Then comes Alberto Black, whose offer for Dean and Amelia to join a team of gifted individuals expands the story’s scope. This opportunity introduces excitement, moral dilemmas, and hints at a larger world filled with extraordinary abilities, challenging Dean to consider how and if he should use his powers for the greater good.
What makes Deathly Visions exceptional is how King blends suspense, supernatural intrigue, and deeply human emotion. Dean’s journey isn’t just about visions of tragedy it’s about coping with trauma, finding purpose, and forming genuine connections. Every chapter draws the reader deeper into Dean’s world, balancing the thrill of premonitions with emotional resonance and ethical complexity.
As the first installment in the Black Prophecies Series, Deathly Visions sets a strong foundation for what promises to be a compelling saga. It’s suspenseful, thought-provoking, and emotionally grounded a story that lingers long after the last page, leaving readers eager to continue the journey alongside Dean and Amelia. For anyone who loves supernatural thrillers infused with heart, moral complexity, and unforgettable characters, this book is an absolute must-read.

November 15, 2025Deathly Visions is one of those stories that quietly hooks you from the first page and then refuses to let go. Terry R. King takes a supernatural premise premonitions after a near-death experience and grounds it in so much humanity that you end up caring less about the visions themselves and more about the man forced to carry them.
Dean Malcolm is a character you immediately feel for. His premonitions aren’t glamorous or heroic they’re heavy, draining, and isolating. The book does a fantastic job of showing what it actually feels like to know tragedy before it strikes, and the emotional cost of trying to save strangers while barely holding yourself together. As his visions grow darker, you can almost feel that tightening pressure around his life.
The shift to the Outer Banks brings a breath of fresh air, and Amelia Lopez is such a beautiful addition to the story. She’s not written as a sidekick or a prop she has her own subtle abilities and becomes a source of grounding, warmth, and courage for Dean. Their connection feels natural, gentle, and supportive, and it adds a much-needed human softness to the tension building in the background.
Doctor Ascott, on the other hand, brings the exact opposite energy cold, clinical, and unsettling. His insistence on experimenting on Dean adds a layer of danger that feels very real, because it taps into that fear of being treated as a “subject” rather than a person.
Then there’s Alberto Black’s offer, which shifts the story toward a bigger world of gifted individuals. It’s exciting, but also tinged with uncertainty because nothing in this book is simply good or bad. Every opportunity has weight. Every choice has consequences.
Overall, Deathly Visions is a thoughtful blend of supernatural thriller and emotional character journey. It’s about power, but also about vulnerability. About danger, but also about connection. And it leaves you with that satisfying feeling that this story is just the beginning of something much larger.

What makes the story shine is the way Dean’s loneliness slowly softens after meeting Amelia Lopez. She is not presented as a perfect savior, but as someone carrying her own quiet sensitivity to the unseen. Their relationship grows with a gentle realism two people finding comfort in shared strangeness. Amelia becomes a grounding force for Dean, helping him navigate a reality that seems constantly on the verge of breaking apart.
But the book never lets you stay comfortable for long. Dr. Ascott brings a dark, unsettling presence, driven by scientific obsession rather than compassion. His desire to “understand” Dean feels more like dismantling him piece by piece. On the other side stands Alberto Black, whose offer opens the door to a secretive world of gifted individuals an opportunity that sounds promising, yet carries its own shadows and unspoken risks.
Terry R. King doesn’t just write supernatural suspense he builds a world where every choice carries emotional consequences. Dean’s journey is tense, heartbreaking, hopeful, and morally complicated. Deathly Visions explores what it truly means to carry a burden that sets you apart from everyone else, and how connection can be the only thing strong enough to hold you together.

Deathly Visions is a remarkable story that blends emotional depth, supernatural tension, and personal transformation with effortless skill. What stood out to me most was the way the author presents Dean as a man who has been pushed into a world he never asked to enter. His visions are not treated as simple plot devices but as heavy, life changing experiences that affect his mind, his heart, and his relationships. Every time a new vision strikes, you can feel the weight settle on him, the fear of failing someone, the pressure of carrying knowledge he cannot escape, and the exhaustion of trying to understand a gift that feels more like a burden. The author captures this emotional turmoil with vivid detail and empathy, making Dean feel like someone we personally know and care about. This level of realism makes the supernatural elements feel even stronger, because they are anchored in real human struggle. The pacing is steady and thoughtful, letting us walk every difficult step with Dean and allowing his transformation to unfold in a heartfelt and believable way.

Deathly Visions is a beautifully crafted story that explores what it truly means to carry a burden that no one can fully understand. The author takes us deep into Dean’s inner world and shows us the emotional cost of knowing danger before it happens. What makes this book stand out is the way the author treats Dean’s gift with seriousness and respect. It is not a simple advantage or a flashy power. It is a weight that affects his sleep, his choices, his relationships, and his sense of identity. The emotional detail in this book is astonishing. Dean is not a distant hero. He is someone who feels real. He wrestles with fear, guilt, responsibility, and the constant question of whether he is doing enough. Each vision feels like a sharp blow, a moment that steals something from him while also demanding that he act quickly and selflessly. This makes the story gripping, heartfelt, and unforgettable. It is clear that the author understands human emotions deeply and is able to express them through every scene with powerful clarity.

Deathly Visions is a story that reaches deep into the human spirit. What impressed me most was the way the author blends supernatural elements with emotional truth. Dean’s struggle is not just about visions. It is about fear, purpose, and the question of why he has been given this responsibility. Every chapter pulls you deeper into his world, showing the emotional toll these visions take on his mind and heart. The writing is incredibly vivid and layered, making each moment feel real and immediate. This book is not only gripping, it is meaningful. It asks powerful questions about fate, responsibility, and what it means to care for others even when it is painful. The author gives us a story that is rich, thoughtful, and unforgettable.
November 15, 2025
Doctor Ascott’s role in the story brings an incredible layer of psychological intensity. He is written with a level of calm confidence that hides something much colder underneath. Every interaction with him feels like a warning, as if he sees Dean not as a person but as a subject to be studied. The author uses him to show how dangerous curiosity can become when it loses empathy. His facility, his pressure, and his insistence all create a quiet fear that builds over time. It is a different kind of danger, one that comes from human ambition rather than supernatural events. This creates a powerful contrast that enriches the entire story. The psychological tension he adds is one of the reasons the book is so hard to stop reading.
November 15, 2025
Deathly Visions follows Dean Malcolm, a man haunted by premonitions after surviving a near-fatal shooting, as he struggles with the emotional weight of seeing others’ tragedies before they happen.

Their bond feels natural and heartfelt, adding warmth to the tension-filled story.

One of the strongest parts of this novel is the growing connection between Dean and Amelia. Their relationship brings tenderness into a story filled with danger and uncertainty. Amelia’s calm strength becomes a steady presence that helps guide Dean through every vision he faces. Their moments together feel gentle, supportive, and real. Instead of forcing the romance, the author lets it bloom slowly through trust, shared experiences, and emotional understanding. This makes their bond one of the most beautiful elements of the entire book. It adds heart, comfort, and hope in all the right places.
November 14, 2025
Doctor Ascott brings a brilliant sense of psychological unease to the story. The tension he creates does not come from physical danger but from the unsettling feeling that he knows far more than he should. His desire to study Dean feels intense and intrusive, and every scene he appears in carries a chilling undercurrent. The author uses him to show how curiosity mixed with ambition can become something dangerous. His role creates a powerful contrast to Amelia’s gentle support, reminding the reader that not everyone who shows interest is a friend. This adds depth and weight to the entire story.
