“A fresh, new voice for fans of horror...spellbinding.” (Andrew Neiderman, author of The Devil’s Advocate)
An evil so deep...in one so young....
Nine years ago, young Tamara Wade was kidnapped by her psychotic cousin Valerie. She endured horrific abuse that mentally shattered her. Now, at 16 years old, Tamara has created another world inside her mind. A world where dolls have conversations and where the dead possess her body to speak to the living. A psychiatrist would diagnose Tamara with multiple personalities. A priest might believe she needs an exorcism. But no one knows the true depths of Tamara's psychotic evil....
Yet...the Wade family is ready to move on from the tragedies of the past. Tamara’s father is about to remarry and create a new blended family. Tamara’s new siblings sense she isn’t normal, but even they don’t comprehend the true danger sleeping down the hall....
Tamara has just met a boy named Micah. A boy with a taste for sadistic killing. Together, they will bring forth a nightmare of bloodshed.
For 70 Years, He Has Waited....In Sharon Valley, at teen slumber parties and around campfires, the story is told. Seventy years ago, on Halloween night, Nathaniel and Myrantha Ober made a pact sealed by bloody human sacrifice...a pact with the devil himself.
This Halloween, Evil Will Return....Nancy Snell is the most popular girl in high school. She is beautiful and wealthy, and she has discovered the key to unlimited power. The occult force that was summoned to this sleepy town decades ago. She has already chosen the perfect victim needed to perform the ritual: the new girl in town, Lana Bremmers.
The Devil's EndOnce again the town of Sharon Valley will be the doorway to the legions of darkness. And the devil will have his payment in blood, on an even more terrifying Halloween night.
Valerie is only as sick as her secrets…
After the death of her hated grandmother, Valerie is, for the first time in her life, really free. The house belongs to her. She should be happy. But Valerie isn’t quite normal.
She’s taking in roommates to make ends meet, but, one by one, they keep ending up dead. Her young niece is crying out for a special kind of discipline that only she can provide. And there are the voices she hears...voices that want her to do terrible things.
Valerie is only trying to survive. If she stops doing what the voices tell her, something grotesquely evil will devour her soul....
What’s wrong with Valerie?
“One of the best horror debuts I’ve come across in a long time…” (Douglas Clegg, author of Neverland)
