I Would Die For You: Book I, The Corruption is a 550-page psychological horror novel by Sulemana Abudu. Set in Pittsburg, Kansas, the story follows a family pulled into the gravity of an old, unnatural force after a strange book enters their lives. What begins as curiosity turns intimate, devotional, and rotten.

Extended Record

Harold Callahan does not find the book so much as disturb it. Once it enters his home, ordinary life begins to warp around it: faith curdles into obsession, affection becomes possession, and the people closest to him start changing in ways no one can explain without sounding insane.

Set in Pittsburg, Kansas, I Would Die For You: Book I, The Corruption is a slow-burn record of domestic fear, supernatural infection, and the private bargains people make before they admit something has already claimed them.

“Powerful, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down. Abudu crafts a compelling story of love, ambition, and the devastating reach of corruption. The characters feel real, the stakes are high, and the emotional depth left me reeling. A stunning start to a promising series.”
