About this ebook
"You can sense the zeal and joy in its writing. His shifting narrative straddles the otherworldly, the seen and unseen as he confidently juxtaposes myth, horror, and the everyday reality of a bygone era to create an atmosphere of imminent menace." - bookviralreviews.com
If you crave more like Stephen King's early books, the really creepy ones, or Dean Koontz's initial twisted tales, you will devour this new supernatural suspense thriller from author David Edward.
The old gods have awakened. At first, it was hard to tell if the evil followed the season or the man.
Whichever it was, it was here now, stalking the restless humid nights of 1919's Florida City—forcing parents to keep their children in, to close their windows in the sweltering heat, to keep the lights low so as not to attract its interest. But while the New Evil and Old Ed arrive simultaneously, Ed is heralded as their savior. A small man with big connections.
After a mysterious stranger arrives on Ed's return at the height of the long hot summer of horror, the townspeople must make a choice. Are a few missing teenagers really such a high price to pay for their ambitions? Is it so strange that Ed is building a giant megalithic Coral Castle at night, all by himself? Are the mysterious strangers' self-righteous drunken ramblings about law and justice preferable to Ed Leeds's confident assurances?
Once you start reading, you won't want to stop until all the horrifying secrets are revealed!
