They told her the memories weren't hers. They lied.

In Before the Blood Dried, J.J. Lucie takes readers deep into the fractured mind of Eleanor "Ellie" Hale, a woman whose past was stolen in the name of science. When Ellie wakes in Arlington Hill Psychiatric Hospital with only flashes of another girl's life, she begins to suspect she's part of something far darker than madness. Hidden in the hospital's forbidden wing lies The Spiral Protocol, a secret government experiment that rewrote human consciousness during the 1940s and erased everyone who knew too much.

As Ellie deciphers the files of a girl named Clara, memories bleed between them. Dreams become evidence. Sanity becomes negotiable. And the truth waiting beneath the blood is something no one was meant to survive.

A chilling blend of gothic horror, historical intrigue, and psychological suspense, Before the Blood Dried is a haunting descent into identity, trauma, and the terrifying question, what if your mind was never really yours?
