Turn Four After Dark

🏁 TURN FOUR AFTER DARK
A Humorous Supernatural Series


Welcome to the Fox Run Speedway after midnight—when the engines are quiet, the lights hum, and the place decides it has opinions.

TURN FOUR AFTER DARK
is a long-running, comedy-first supernatural series set around a haunted Creswell, North Carolina racetrack where ghosts won’t rest, animals vote on things they don’t understand, and Pit Road may or may not be alive—and absolutely refuses to cooperate.

This isn’t a racing series.
This is a racing-adjacent series.


The track is the setting, not the subject. You don’t need to know a thing about lap times, standings, or engines to enjoy the chaos. What you do need is a sense of humor and a tolerance for absurdity.

đŸ‘» WHAT LIVES HERE

  • Ghosts who didn’t leave when they were supposed to
  • A Critter Council that takes meetings very seriously (despite having no qualifications)
  • Tools and machines that behave badly after midnight
  • Humans who keep showing up thinking they’re in charge
  • Some characters return.


Some disappear.
Some get killed again.
The track remembers everyone.


🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Episodic stories you can read in order or jump into anytime
  • An ensemble cast that rotates, mutates, and occasionally argues
  • Southern Gothic flavor with a heavy dose of ridiculous
  • Spooky moments immediately undercut by humor
  • Rules that matter—and things that absolutely cannot happen
  • Funny always comes first.
  • Fear is optional—and usually interrupted.


📚 THE LONG HAUL

Designed as a 20+ book series, TURN FOUR AFTER DARK rewards long-time readers without punishing new ones. Each book delivers a complete story while quietly building a larger, stranger world where the track always wins and midnight never improves anyone’s decision-making.

If you like your supernatural stories:

irreverent
character-driven
location-obsessed
and unapologetically funny

Then welcome to Turn Four.

Just don’t touch anything on Pit Road.
It hates that.
