And Daniel Slaughter, who writes young-adult Christian horror with strong moral lessons. Sebastian Cole, the elderly statesman/Stephen King type who has had decades of both commercial success and literary street cred. Moore, the take-no-shit weaver of extreme horror that likely would have been labeled splatterpunk three decades ago. Out of the blue, he’s asked to participate in an online publicity stunt–a Halloween sleepover with three other horror authors in one of the most haunted houses in America. He spends most of his time teaching at the local university and trying to keep his marriage from falling apart. Our protagonist is Sam McGarver, an author who has had some initial success but has hit a creative dead-end. He takes on classic themes and pays tribute to a long lineage of gothic/ghost stories: the writer protagonist with a troubled past a house haunted by an historic injustice curses that spread like a virus to destroy all infected and a supernatural presence that preys on its victims’ emotional vulnerabilities. Scott Thomas plays the hits in his debut novel. ![]()
