Produktbeschreibung

Sequel to the dark and sinisterly twisting horror, 'Hunger'.
First came Thornton House, rumbling to life. Then, the rebirth of the epitome of evil, Teddy Mayfield.

After decades of laying dormant, waiting for fresh blood. Along came supernatural twins Jenny and Nicholas Rickman, who became a force of dark nature. The house didn't anticipate.

The twins turned sixteen amidst the awakening of their supernatural abilities as they settled into a new town in a new country. Maplewood, Maine, USA. With it came the never-ending darkness of evil weaving its way through the town, wreaking havoc, beginning with the murder of Kirsty Hollings, whose body disappears. Then, one by one, teenagers of the town leaders and their friends feel the full force of the horror awakening. All linked to the carnage thirty years ago and the town's Secret Six'. A council focussed on keeping the darkness at bay and the townsfolk oblivious, but evil wants revenge.

Now, the baton is passed down to their children, who, along with Jenny and Nicholas, must prevent Teddy Mayfield from resurrecting the 'COVEN' and what dwells beneath Maplewood Lake's murky surface.

Centuries ago, the town was known as 'Wickenwood', overrun by witches and warlocks, tapping into its rich supplies of 'Hag Stone' in the forest's heart. Thirty years ago, a coven lived in Thornton House, terrorising the town until it hit back. The witches turned to the darkest of their magic; their leader turned her mentally unstable son, locked away in a mental institution for a series of sexual assaults were blamed on a brain injury suffered in Vietnam. And made him part powerful demon.

The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as the coven leader and its remaining witches were taken out. Teddy Mayfield escapes to terrorise the town in revenge. Eventually, the Secret Six stops him, too, and all is quiet for thirty years. Although they couldn't stay dead, the witches were buried, locked away, and had their hearts removed and imprisoned. They rest in glass jars, beating to the same haunting rhythm as Thornton House. Now, Teddy Mayfield wants to bring them back.

Survival rests on young shoulders and the new council. Can the twins and their friends stop Mayfield and the witches and stop the bloodshed?

Autorenporträt

My journey as a writer began years ago, kindled by an early fascination with English literature and language, a passion ignited during my GCSE studies. It was the timeless narrative of 'Of Mice and Men' that first captured my imagination, leading me down a path forever intertwined with storytelling.

As life unfolded, I explored various passions and embraced the responsibilities of adulthood. I navigated through life's complexities, finding joy and fulfilment in raising two wonderful sons. Now, as they step into their journeys, I've been graced with the opportunity to revisit my first love: writing.

My ambition is to craft immersive worlds that readers can lose themselves in, worlds where the lines between the supernatural, crime thrillers, and horror blur into an irresistible tapestry of intrigue and character-driven narratives. "Secrets in the Bones," my fourth novel, marks a significant milestone in my writing career. It represents not just another story but a venture outside my comfort zone, being the first work I've presented to agents and publishers.

With a treasure trove of stories waiting to be told, my journey as an author is far from over. I am currently immersed in writing "The Cursed Knights - the Book of the Dead," a foray deeper into the horror genre. Each new story is an adventure, an opportunity to explore the uncharted realms of imagination, and a chance to connect with readers who share my love for the mysterious and the macabre.
