By Dawn's Bloody Light: A Fairy's Tale, #0

By DeAnna Knippling

Three women.  One serial killer who has access to the supernatural. 

He can scare them...but he can't stop them from taking revenge.

A small Midwestern college town.  A series of murders that ape the Jack the Ripper killings.  Then Laney Miller is butchered just after dawn in front of a second-hand bookstore.  The one witness didn't see anything...except Laney getting dragged out of her car and murdered by an invisible force.

One that carries a straight razor.

It's a town that has attracted the weird and strange as far back as the eighteen hundreds.  Since then disappearances, murders, suicides, and kidnappings have only grown worse.  Especially targeted are a group of local girls that carry the same face...

Laney's face.

Laney's girlfriend Joy and her friends decide to find the seemingly-supernatural killer and take him down before he strikes again.  

In as violent and bloody a manner as possible.

By dawn's bloody light...they will have revenge.

A novella-length horror/paranormal suspense story to kick off the Fairy's Tale Series, coming soon!  Book 1:  ONE DARK SUMMER NIGHT, August 2017.
