The Night of the Toad King

By Kent Holloway

The Toad King has awakened!

Cassie’s grandfather used to tell her and her brother Tommy stories of the Toad King—an ancient slumbering evil that lurks in woods of an abandoned estate on the outskirts of Meikle Bay. So when an infestation of toads descends upon their town, Cassie wonders whether the plague of toads is a harbinger of greater evil to come.

Fueled by curiosity about the legend, Cassie and her brother, along with Tommy’s best friend Ben, sneak into the dark forbidden woods, but what awaits them is an evil beyond their worst nightmares.

Kent Holloway

Bestselling author Kent Holloway lives on death. Literally. With more than twenty-seven years' experience in forensic death investigations, he's seen it all. Experienced the worst that life has to give and never let it dim his sense of wonder or humor. Now, he brings all this experience, along with a zeal for uncovering the folklore and superstitions of death, to the written page as author of mysteries and forensic crime fiction! He is the author of the fun, breezy Grim Days Mystery series, as well as the critically acclaimed Ezekiel Crane paranormal mystery series. He's also the author of the Cold War era tropical island/voodoo/KGB-packed calypso-inspired mystery, MURDER ON VOODOO ISLAND and the forensic thriller, CLEAN EXIT.  Kent Holloway also has a Master’s degree in Biblical Studies from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has served as singles minister, evangelism pastor, and director of discipleship and education. In 2019, Kent released his very first Christian nonfiction book entitled ‘I Died Swallowing a Goldfish and Other Life Lessons from the Morgue’ that features tales of his real life investigations with the important lessons he's learned from them.
