When authorities discover Raze Voorhees half-starved and dehydrated near the abandoned grounds of Crystal Lake, they assume they have found another broken man consumed by delusion. Found living among the ruins of the infamous camp, surrounded by trees carved with hundreds of staring eyes, Raze is committed to Blackwood County Psychiatric Institute after claiming he is the husband of Jason Voorhees - the legendary killer everyone insists cannot possibly be alive. Inside the psych ward, doctors diagnose him with psychosis, obsession, and violent delusions. They believe his stories are fantasies created to cope with years of isolation and trauma. But the more they question him, the stranger his answers become. Raze does not merely claim to know Jason. He claims he loves him. ‘The Waiting Game’ is a psychological horror novel blending obsession, devotion, and gothic romance with slasher horror. Told through psychiatric interviews, memories of a brutal childhood, and the growing dread within the hospital walls, the story follows one man’s unwavering faith that the person he loves will return for him - no matter how many locked doors stand in the way.
