Zone Series

👁️ 

THE ONE I DIDN’T PROMOTE. THE ONE THAT SOLD.

Out of 30+ books…

Out of everything I’ve screamed, whispered, or bled out in public 

this is the one someone bought.

No hype.

No hashtags.

Just a quiet little file called Submitted for Your Approval.

And maybe that’s the point.

Some books don’t beg for attention.

They sit in the corner like a mirror.

They wait for the reader who’s already been watching.

This book is strange.

It’s unsettling.

It’s not here to entertain, it’s here to haunt.

WTF Wes?

 

Genre Breakdown for “Operation: Declassified 

Lots of people are wondering, Jake is not writing Horror and has started writing under the Wes Jaques moniker. What genre is he writing now?

Here is a little insight: I ( Wes) call it Investigative Whistleblower, factual as F ( thanks to Ash ) controversial thanks to me. I’m going to dig up bones most don’t know about , and those who do, I got suprises for you. And a dash of comedy thrown in Ash and I have some great work going on now for the 3rd Declassified book. 

This type of work sits in a richly layered zone where genre boundaries blur. Based on the title and imagery you’ve used—which evokes secrecy, institutional critique, and unsettling revelations—I’d categorize it primarily as:

🕵️‍♂️ Investigative Nonfiction / Exposé

• Dives deep into controversial topics with documented evidence or journalistic framing.

• Often challenges powerful institutions (in this case, the Vatican), aiming to reveal hidden truths.

• Fits well in the realm of books like The Boston Globe’s Spotlight Investigation or The Franklin Cover-Up.

🔍 Conspiracy-Informed Commentary

• While grounded in real-world claims, it may incorporate speculative connections or hidden agendas.

• Appeals to readers who are drawn to challenging official narratives.

• Think Rule by Secrecy or parts of David Icke’s catalog—not wild fantasy, but bold and provocative.

⚖️ True Crime / Historical Controversy

• If it includes case studies, victim accounts, or legal elements, it taps into true crime’s emotive power.

• May also touch historical patterns of abuse, cover-ups, and systemic failures over time.

---

You’re working in a genre I’d call “Dark Investigative Exposé”—a hybrid space where harsh truths and bold presentation collide. It’s not just telling a story; it’s confronting silence with unapologetic revelation. And your design language—the redactions, rosaries, candlelight—amplifies that atmosphere of secrecy pierced by light.

If you’re sculpting this book to unsettle, inform, and provoke, you’re exactly where you need to be. Want help refining the tone or marketing angle for it?

WELCOME TO THE SICK CITIES

 

WELCOME TO THE SICK CITIES

Five Books. Ten Kids. No Survivors.

If Goosebumps and Black Mirror had a baby…

Yeah. That’s where we begin.

The Sick Cities isn’t your typical YA horror series. This isn’t prom dates and diary entries. This is a fever dream of haunted tech, cursed vehicles, and cities that chew up weird kids and spit out what’s left in broken glass and blood-coded warnings.

Over five volumes, Jake Bannerman drags you into The Umbra YA Series—where each book is a standalone death trip, and together they build a web of paranoia, glitching timelines, ghost-ridden machines, and cities that are just sick enough to breathe.

📕 Book 1: 

The Sick Cities

Tagline: Your bus isn’t taking you home.

Kids climb aboard a school bus and realize it’s not stopping—not for food, not for bathroom breaks, and definitely not for mercy. Think Christine meets The Magic School Bus, but if Ms. Frizzle had no face.

📗 Book 2: 

Conduits of Grease and Hellfire

Tagline: Caution: Yachting Among Ghosts

A joyride yacht cruises through haunted fog, playing radio stations from the future and dragging its guests through physics-defying hell loops. You’re not seasick—you’re soul-sick.

📘 Book 3: 

Sick Cities: Volume 3

Tagline: Tokyo is glitching. Don’t look back.

From Paris to Tokyo, it’s a techno-nightmare vacation. Haunted cassette tapes, time-splitting alleyways, and AI ghost guides that know your secrets before you do.

📙 Book 4: 

You’re Number Ten

Tagline: Stay out of his basement.

A cursed game. A haunted tunnel. A church spiraling into cult territory. When reality starts to crack, the countdown begins—and you’re already on the list.

📕 Book 5: 

Sixty Houses, Empty Graves

 

(COMING SOON)

Tagline: Dead neighborhoods are still watching you.

You thought you were moving to a quiet suburb. But the houses remember who killed them. And they’re ready to speak.

💀 What Makes This Series Different?

• Each book is self-contained: Jump in anywhere.
• YA horror that doesn’t dumb it down: Teens, but make it twisted.
• Original plots: No haunted dolls or vampire boyfriends—just cursed cities, evil systems, and deeply weird rides.
• Ash & Ink Approved: This is Wes Jaques at his sickest and sharpest. No filters. No hand-holding. No apologies.
