Summoner of Sleep

About Summoner of Sleep

A dark family secret—A town that doesn’t exist on any map—and a drug that will unleash an apocalyptic, transformational horror on the world.

Ryder Ashling’s world is turning upside down. He’s lost his job, wife, home, and now he’s doubting his sanity. Behind his descent are horrific nightmares so vivid that they follow him into the waking world. When he discovers his neighbor has been documenting his nightmares with scientific precision and leaving him vials of a drug called Summoner of Sleep, things get weirder.

His neighbor disappears and Ryder follows his trail to Marble Woods, a town erased from all maps after a historical atrocity. Now it’s whispered to be the home of marble-skinned demons, as well as the source of the plants used to manufacture Summoner of Sleep.

It’s here in Marble Woods that Ryder will come face to face with the darkest of family secrets and be forced to make a decision that will change the fate of the world.

Rich in magic and occultism, fractured characters, and a taste of mystery, Summoner of Sleep is a fast paced, thrill-ride bursting with psychological terror.

Gate of Betrayal

About Gate of Betrayal

Through the ages, the knowledge of the Hell Gates faded from human memory, thus their very existence was never captured by the written word. For eternity, the one purpose of the Dragon Guardians was to guard these Gates so that no fallen angel could escape. Time had destroyed the Dragons’ physical form and disintegrated into pure celestial energy. Myths and legends captured only a minuscule ounce of truth about these creatures’ essence. Three souls, knowingly and unknowingly, attempt to free themselves from their own self-imposed prison. One tormented by a pact for love. One tormented by the love for her family and its obligation. One tormented by the love for himself and avoidance to take a risk in his life. Their battle to free themselves depends on whether they choose to open, keep closed, or ignore the Hell Gate. Deep below the heart of San Francisco, concealed under an old grocery store, one of the Hell Gates remained silent since 1906 when, at that time, it opened and the fallen angel, Samael, momentarily escaped; destroying much of the city buildings with an earthquake and fire. Survivors described a fiery fiend moving throughout the city burning all in its path. Most accepted it figuratively, but was it? Over a hundred years later, we will find out the truth. So, in the spirit of any cheesy horror story, WHAT IF Hell, today, went shopping for virgin blood in San Francisco…how hard could that be?

Before the Cure by Deirdre Gould

About Before the Cure by Deirdre Gould

In Neil’s mind it started with the man in the park. Or, more specifically, with the vicious bite the man had given Neil. He was wrong about that. The December Plague had started weeks earlier, though no one knew it.

The early symptoms were so mild that almost no one noticed them. A scratchy throat. A feeling of lethargy that you just can’t shake. But then the slurring started. And an intense irritability. Finally, an irresistible urge to bite and consume accompanying an uncontrollable rage.

The Infected cannot be reasoned with and there is no known cure. They cannot recognize even their closest friends. Anything that attracts their notice risks being torn apart, including one another. Quarantined in a desperate attempt to contain the December Plague, the patients and staff of Wing Memorial hospital are left to fend for themselves. When the small security force sent to aid them are wiped out, the Infected run loose in the halls and Neil is trapped inside with them. Even worse is the knowledge that containment has failed and the outside world has no idea what’s coming.
