Find it on Amazon - A classic 80's horror in the style of Stephen King - In Port Blossom, silence is a memory.' A relentless, malevolent gale screams from the Howling Maw, stripping the town of its paint, its hope, and its sanity. The residents don't run anymore; they just wait to erode. Jax knows this storm is different. His shattered leg aches with a warning no barometer can match. Seeking sanctuary, he seals himself and four friends inside a reinforced basement, desperate to wait out the apocalypse raging above. But the concrete walls are a lie. When the group's shortwave radio crackles to life, it doesn't bring news of the weather. It emits a wet, rhythmic static. It sounds like labored breathing. It sounds hungry. The storm isn't just outside anymore. And now that it has found a voice, it wants to be let in. "This is a high-quality, atmospheric horror manuscript that is market-ready. The author possesses a remarkable talent for sensory description, transforming the setting of Port Blossom into a menacing character in its own right. The narrative effectively subverts the nostalgic 'kids on bikes' trope by injecting it with a bleak, Lovecraftian nihilism rather than Spielbergian wonder. The emotional resonance of the trauma and the refusal to provide a 'happy' ending make this a standout piece of fiction. It reads like a cross between Stephen King's 'It' and a natural disaster thriller." - Review Buy the book on Amazon on Kindle, Paperback or Hardcover - From the author of The Algorithmic Serpent -

- A chilling horror in the Style of Stephen King and Dean Koontz - Find it on Amazon Havenwood, Maine, reeks of rust, salt, and old blood. For Marcus Holson, returning home isn't just a burden-it's a descent into hell. Fifteen years ago, the ocean swallowed his brother whole, leaving Marcus shattered and dependent on a bottle of pills to keep the darkness at bay. Now, inside the rotting walls of the Holson estate, the past refuses to stay submerged. The medication dulls the panic, but it can't mask the metallic tang in the air. It can't silence the sound of wet, heavy footsteps dragging across the floorboards in an empty house. The tide is rising, and the dead don't stay buried in the deep. Is Marcus losing his mind, or has the ocean finally come to finish what it started? "This manuscript is a visceral, high-concept entry into the cosmic horror genre that stands out due to its unique thematic integration of trauma and survival. The prose is dense and evocative, creating a suffocating atmosphere that effectively mirrors the protagonist's internal state. The central mechanic-the protagonist's dissociation and emotional numbness render him invisible to the monsters-is a brilliant narrative device that elevates the story above standard creature features. It is highly marketable, fitting well within the current appetite for 'elevated horror' that blends psychological depth with eldritch gore." - Review From the author of - The Obsidian Carnival -

Find it on Amazon "A psychological horror in the style of Stephen King and Dean Koontz" Blackwood Farm is dying. The corn has turned to stone. The soil is nothing but gray ash. In the wake of their son's tragic death, a grieving couple discovers two infant girls amidst the radioactive ice of a crashed vessel. To a heartbroken mother, they are a miracle-a second chance at a family. She shields them with a desperate, blinding love. But the father watches as the land rots around them. These children do not eat food. They feed on the blight. They thrive on the ruin. As the twins approach their twelfth birthday, the farm transforms into something alien, cold, and terrifying. The father knows the truth now. His wife isn't raising daughters. She is nursing the end of the world. When the sky turns violet, will he choose his wife's happiness, or the survival of the human race? "This novel is a suffocating masterclass in cosmic horror that weaponizes grief in the most disturbing way possible. The story of George and Martha, a couple broken by the loss of their son, serves as the perfect fertile ground for an alien intrusion that feels both intimate and apocalyptic. The author excels at sensory details-you can practically smell the ozone and rot, and feel the unnatural cold radiating from the pages. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the dread to build until the truly grotesque set pieces, like the macabre dinner party with desiccated livestock, which is one of the most unsettling scenes I've read in years. While the ending offers zero hope, it fits the nihilistic tone perfectly. It's a heavy read, but a brilliant one for fans of 'The Color Out of Space' or 'Hereditary'." - Review From the author of -The Unweaving-

Find it on Amazon Seventeen years ago, a malevolent entity stole Evelyn Reed's sister from Oakhaven, leaving behind only the cold echo of grief. Branded a pariah, Evelyn has spent her life as a reclusive archivist, meticulously tracking spectral static, waiting for its return. Now, a gaudy carnival manifests overnight on the blackened fairgrounds-a colossal, bio-mechanical super-organism of neon and nightmare. While the townsfolk are lulled by a hypnotic glamour, Evelyn hears past screams in the discordant hum of its rides. This isn't a fair; it's a living, breathing horror, digesting the elderly for fuel and grafting children into its grotesque architecture. Shielded by her own trauma and armed with forbidden occult science, Evelyn must weaponize her obsession and penetrate the Carnival's digestive tract. Every twisted ride, every sugary scent, is part of a monstrous entity built for unimaginable horrors. As she delves deeper into its pulsating heart, hunted by its hollowed-out denizens, Evelyn realizes the true terror isn't just its gruesome hunger, but the familiar whisper that seems to guide it. She came to destroy a monster, but what if the monster remembers her name? "This is a visceral, emotionally resonant work of cosmic horror that successfully marries the 'weird fiction' genre with a deeply personal narrative of grief. The manuscript possesses a distinct voice and a suffocatingly effective atmosphere-a 'biopunk' nightmare that feels like a collision between Clive Barker and H.P. Lovecraft. The prose is polished, heavy on sensory detail, and thematically tight. It is highly marketable to the adult horror demographic, specifically fans of Jeff Van der Meer or Caitlin R. Kiernan." - Professional Review

ALEXANDRO ANDREW JONCENO's CLASSIC LIFE !!!

Before this town, my life was a clean shuffle-quiet streets, honest mornings, days that knew their place and ended gently. I lived simply then, like a game played with open cards, no bluffs, no wagers too heavy to hold. But the night I met him, the deck split. He walked in like an ace pulled from a sleeve, dangerous and dazzling, turning kings into fools and jokers into prophets. With him, every breath became a bet, every touch a gamble, every promise stacked like chips on a trembling table. I learned his language in cards and chances-how love can crown you a queen one moment and leave you bankrupt the next. And now he's gone, yet the game refuses to end. His absence is the cruelest hand: a ghostly dealer reshuffling my nights, slipping wild cards into my dreams, never letting me fold, never letting me win. The town still sleeps, but I don't-caught forever in the echo of a game that changed my life and will not let me walk away. My life without will never be the same ever again.

I have always dreamed of becoming an author-of seeing my name printed on the cover of a physical novel. Not necessarily to be famous, but simply to feel that I have accomplished something meaningful. Sixteen years later, that childhood dream remains the same: to become an author. And I have decided to make it a reality.

But just when forever seems close enough to touch, Lev leaves-and heartbreak becomes the only thing Jaine can hold onto. Six years later, Lev returns as a powerful lawyer, ruthless in court and colder in person... until he meets a little girl with his eyes. Ellie Eiden Soren. His daughter. Now bound by truth, guilt, and the wildfire attraction they never extinguished, Jaine and Lev are forced into a marriage neither is ready for-but both desperately need.
