About this ebook

When twelve-year-old Billy Watts found a jack-in-the-box buried in the woods behind his house, the note attached to it warned him not to open it, saying it was very evil. Giving in to childhood curiosity, Billy opened it. But nothing happened.

Or so Billy thought.

Now, the children of Joshua Creek are being gruesomely murdered. And Billy begins having nightmares, visited each night by a monster taunting him about the children being killed.

And how there will be more.

When Billy realizes he has unleashed an evil from the jack-in-the-box, he knows he must stop it. But Billy sees no way possible for a child to stop an evil so powerful and threatening.

An evil born from the world of nightmares.

Author

Chad P. Brown

Chad P. Brown was born in Huntington, WV. Once he outgrew his childhood fears of haunted houses, clowns, and toy monkeys with cymbals (although those still creep him out a little bit), he discovered a dark love for writing and an affinity for macabre and eldritch matters. He holds a Master's in Latin from Marshall University and is an Affiliate member of the Horror Writers Association. In October 2011, he released his first horror novel, The Jack-in-the-box. He has appeared in the anthologies SPIDERS (August 2012 by May December Publications) and Gothic Blue Book Vol. 2 - Revenge Edition (October 2012 by Burial Day Books). His current projects include a recently released zombie novella, Messiah of the Zombie Apocalypse, and various short stories, as well as a dark fiction novella, The Pumpkin House, which is in submission.
