Do you like horror stories? I do. I love them. There’s nothing quite like that moment when I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, or when a story makes me wonder what might be out there in the dark, prowling just beyond the firelight.
Want to get a feel for my writing before taking a journey into the gathering dusk with me? Then download the first three chapters of Malevolent: Book 1 of the Elizabeth Russell – The Regulator series.
VENTURE INTO THE DARK
ELIZABETH RUSSELL: THE REGULATOR SERIES
When London Detective Ray Ennis arrests a serial killer, he can’t believe the man’s claim that he’s killed 68 people who were all part of a demonic cult. But soon all his beliefs are shattered as his investigation takes him into a secret world of human sacrifice, where even his own family are at risk. And who is Elizabeth Russell? She claims to be a ‘Regulator’ at the Treasury, but why is she so intent on closing his investigation down? Is there really something truly Malevolent in the heart of London? And if there is, how can Ray confront it before it destroys his family?
Who would conjure a demon, trap it in an artefact and sell it as a holiday souvenir? That’s the question Elizabeth Russel must answer. And fast, as a spate of demonic possessions erupts across Britain. Could the folklore of the quaint holiday playground of the Isle of Wight hold the key? When she goes there with her new partner, Andy Harper, they get a lethal welcome. Why does Thomas Attrill, an affable antique dealer want her body, preferably dead? And what does any of it have to do with the annihilation of the village of Wolverton 700 years ago? Elizabeth Russell must put her soul on the line to discover the horrifying truth behind The Wolverton Demons.
Seven murders in London, each victim’s face a mask of unbearable suffering, each with their soul ripped out of their body… and someone’s trying to hide the whole thing from Britain’s paranormal ‘Regulator’ Elizabeth Russell. Is there more than one murderer, or is a shapeshifter stalking the city? And does it have anything to do with something unnatural lurking within the country house of ‘gentleman’ adventurer Sir William Bullard? As Elizabeth Russell gets closer to the truth, a conspiracy is revealed with the children of London at its rotten heart. But even if she thwarts it, will that be enough to stop the emergence of an evil entity of unimaginable power?
THE POSTERBOY SERIES
We all take photographs on holiday. So, what’s the problem when Jen Miller takes a photo of a wild beach on Cayuga Lake, New York? The problem is, that’s when her nightmares about a vicious fourteen-year old boy begin. And then she realises the boy is appearing in a different picture on her phone each day, slipping into the next photo in sequence as he counts down to the day when a person is in one of the photographs. And that’s when the real horror begins…
The True Crime, Or True Terror Podcast is a hit. Goth-girl Aaliyah, strait-laced Manny, and Greg, their laid-back psychic, offer an addictive blend of true-life crime with a supernatural twist. However, when they investigate the story of Jen Miller, they make one big mistake – they photograph the wild beach on Cayuga Lake. It’s five years since Jen unleashed the spirit of the PosterBoy: now he’s back, and the years haven’t mellowed him. As the PosterBoy moves from one photograph to the next in the podcasters’ camera roll and their nightmares turn to brutal reality, what will they do when he comes knocking at their door? Shave and a haircut…
