Echo Paradise

 Echo Paradise

I'm happy to announce that my newest supernatural horror novel, Echo Paradise, will be available in paperback and on Kindle Ebook starting Sunday, August 15th!


Description

Deservation.

Lisha Winters has repeated this fabricated word in her head for the better part of a year. After a tragic accident, she has succumbed to her blame, content to put the horrible event out of her mind by staying distracted at her computer. One night, she sneaks downstairs to get a snack, only to discover the world changing around her. Objects long gone are reappearing in her home. Gaping black maws to an unknown void hunt her in the dark. Everything trying to drag her into remembering a past she yearns to forget.

Soon, however, Lisha realizes the memories of last spring will not stop haunting her until she confronts them. Awakening from the nightmare of her reality, she discovers an inverted world of blue trees, red leaves, and a purple sun high in the sky. While this new world attempts to force her into facing what's happened, she struggles against its pull as much as she can. Only the echo in the forest appears to understand what she truly wants:

Deservation.

Echo Paradise is a supernatural story about grief, tragedy, and how we confront the demons they leave us with.

Release Schedule

Wednesday, August 11th: Preview #1 will be available on Frayed Branches at 4 PM EST. Pre-orders for the Kindle Ebook version may also be available on this date, but the approval process for the final draft may take a bit longer. An announcement will go out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram when pre-orders are available.

Friday, August 13th: Preview #2 will be available on Frayed Branches at 4 PM EST.

Sunday, August 15th: The paperback and Kindle Ebook versions will be available for purchase by the end of the day. An announcement will go out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram when the book becomes available.

I've been working on Echo Paradise since the start of May this year, intending for it to be much shorter than it ended up becoming. Hopefully the story inside justifies the wait. Thank you all so much for the support. Please keep checking back over the course of the next week for previews and news pertaining to the novel's release.

Gemini Home Entertainment: Cosmic Horror Meets Analog Video

  Gemini Home Entertainment: Cosmic Horror Meets Analog Video Supernatural horror, as a genre, can come in many shapes and sizes. From books to television to even comic books, the idea of something unknown and unexplainable lurking just at the corners of human vision has always fascinated us. I should know, given I've written books inspired by those very ideas. But, with the Internet allowing storytellers more tools to create and share the worlds they envision, a whole new slew of horror content has been cropping up in the last decade or so. This ranges from shows like  Marble Hornets , a webseries about the popular, faceless Slenderman monster, to "creepypasta," Internet horror stories, some of which are incredibly chilling ("Candle Cove" being one of my favorites).  But recently, a new type of video has been cropping up on YouTube: Analog horror. A subgenre of found footage, analog horror typically throws away the idea that found footage has to rely on a chara

The Walking Dead S11 E12: "The Lucky Ones" Review

  The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 12: "The Lucky Ones" Review [WARNING: Major spoilers for  The Walking Dead  seasons 1-10, spoilers for season 11.] With the previous episode of The Walking Dead giving us a little more insight as to what may be going on within darker confines of the Commonwealth, I was anticipating another episode that would elaborate on what had been established. What I didn't expect, however, was a mixed bag episode that both indicated what the conflict for Part 2 would be moving forward while also raising a lot of questions regarding the show's inner logistics. While this episode did excite me for what was to come, a lot of it felt like filler that could have been established within half an episode. Regardless, while I'm a bit iffy on the presentation, I am interested to see where the story is going and how it's going to differ from the comics--which is already evident given what's been happening. The major plot of this episode sees

Breaking Bad Season 1: A Retrospective

  Breaking Bad Season 1: A Retrospective This entry is part of a series of retrospectives on the  Breaking Bad  universe. Click  here  for the next entry on  Breaking Bad  Season 2. [Note: As a series retrospective, this post will contain major spoilers from Breaking Bad, its sequel film El Camino, and its prequel series Better Call Saul] On August 15th, 2022, the final piece of the Breaking Bad universe, Better Call Saul , will come to an end. And, with its end, the Breaking Bad universe will also come to a close--unless, of course, AMC's insistence that creator Vince Gilligan return with another show comes to fruition (perhaps a Gus prequel titled "Los Pollos Hermanos"? Just spitballing here). Given this milestone of the end of Saul's journey, I thought it would be appropriate to rewatch Breaking Bad , Better Call Saul , and El Camino in order to get a refreshed sense of the journey Gilligan and his frequent collaborator Peter Gould have taken audiences on for nearl
