Urbex Predator by Jens Boele [BLITZ]

[A Deadly Survival Story]

Abandoned Horrors. Deranged Souls. A Deadly Survival Story.

In the chilling new horror novel, Urbex Predator, by Jens Boele, a group of intrepid urban explorers embarks on what they believe to be a routine trip to an abandoned barracks in the middle of nowhere.

As a relict from the Cold War era, they are a popular destination for photographers, influencers, and adventurers. A place that is closely guarded and harbors a multitude of risks. But it’s not just the derelict buildings that pose a danger.

Nela and her friend Tess venture to the eerie ruins to complete their photography thesis, only to find themselves relentlessly pursued through the darkened corridors by a group of ruthless thugs.

Zander, Yelka, her sister Vivien, and her manager Damon set out on a photo shoot, only to be unexpectedly cornered by a gang of depraved youths. As night descends, the boundaries between life and death blur, and the group is forced to confront the darkest corners of their own souls.

In the face of danger, will they fall victim or rise as hunters in the shadows?

Inspired by early works from literary giants like Jack Ketchum and Richard Laymon, Urbex Predator promises readers a heart-pounding journey through the realms of fear and survival, where every turn reveals a new nightmare. Yet, this spine-tingling narrative is not just the product of imagination; it’s also a reflection of author Jens Boele’s real-life experiences as an Urban Explorer, who spent many years venturing into the very places he describes in his book.

⇛The Excerpt⇚

After a few minutes, he reached the edge of a clearing. From his position, the outlines of people in pale torchlight were visible. The ground beneath them was partially tiled. Zander guessed an empty pool next to them. This had to be the outdoor swimming pool. His heart beat faster. Normally trespassing was exciting enough, but this situation pushed him to his limits. His instincts drove him to flee, but something inside kept him there.

As a black figure, he stood upright among the trees and watched the outdoor pool. The gang was up to something, but he couldn’t see what it was. Slowly, seemingly on his own, his hand reached into his pocket. The knife was still there. He produced it and unfolded the blade. Bright metal glinted in the moonlight. Zander felt a certain kind of security emanating from the cold steel. The knife can be both a tool and a weapon. Zander would stay right here.

He didn’t know what drove him—was it the abandoned place he wanted to see so badly? Did he want to save his friends? Or was it simply danger that drove him?

He remained in a crouched position, attempting to get closer to the group. There were three or four people there, Zander couldn’t tell for sure. Just a little further out of the forest and behind the bush, and he would be as close to them as possible.

At that moment, the person standing closest to him turned in his direction. By a hair’s breadth, the glow of a flashlight shone on Sander. Even his perfect camouflage would not have saved him, though. But he was lucky and remained undiscovered.

Now he realized who was lighting a cigarette at the edge of the pool. It was the only girl from the group. In the dim light, he saw her face and parts of her upper body. Dark blond hair, slender features, full lips, and a hard look that was atypical of most girls he knew. When the lighter went out, she took a drag on the cigarette and gazed in his direction. Without knowing it, their eyes met. She then turned around, and the flashlight fell on a second person. It was the guy with the red t-shirt, wearing heavy gold chains. Like frozen, he stared into the light. Zander saw his eyes twinkling maliciously. Evil seemed to be staring right back at him.

Like spellbound, he remained in his place. Now, Zander would stay.
