    About this series

    Some spirits never rest in peace…


    Paul Mahan escaped the terrifying evil that dwelled in the Rookwood Apartments. But others have not been so lucky. Young Ella Cotter, an innocent child, finds herself tormented by a ghost Paul unwittingly freed when he escaped the building's haunted grounds.

    As Paul attempts to use hypnosis to separate the child from the tortured entity that clings to her soul, blood runs in the streets. A series of mysterious killings rocks the nearby city of Tynecastle. And Paul is convinced the violent incidents are linked to Dr. Palmer, a sadistic wraith, who once turned Rookwood into an asylum of horrors.

    Working with the local police, and a rare book dealer with an interest in the occult, Paul and his allies soon find themselves face to face with an enemy unlike anything they have ever imagined. This terrifying evil force grows more powerful with each victim it kills.

    And the only way to stop it may cost Paul his mortal soul…

      In the aftermath of the Big Crash, the President of the United States declares martial law. The National Guard rounds up citizens who are never heard from again. While fear and chaos reign, a small band of revolutionaries rise up to resist.   Lacy Monroe, barely out of high school, never saw herself as a leader. All that changed after the Big Crash. When the rest of her family fled, she remained on the farm, the last piece of land in the state holding out against the hostile government. Alone and vulnerable, she endures a horrific attack, yet survives and offers sanctuary to others like herself—until an old friend turns her world upside-down.   Jace Cooper has harbored a secret for years—he is completely in love with his best friend's sister. The world is crumbling around them, no one knows how long they will survive, and all he wants is to protect Lacy and stay with her.    With the National Guard circling ever closer, hunger and sickness taking a toll, and betrayal and jealousy threatening to destroy the group from the inside, the struggle to hold onto the farm pushes them to the brink. And Lacy is keeping a secret so devastating it could drive Jace to unthinkable actions. Is the farm a safe asylum—or will the fight for freedom destroy them?

      Some nightmares are too terrifying to forget… Paul Mahan just wants to put everything behind him. The shadowy halls of Rookwood apartments, the building's bloodstained past, and most of all, the chilling supernatural presence he encountered there… But when Neve Cotter, a former Rookwood resident, reaches out to him for help, Paul finds himself unable to turn away. Neve's daughter, Ella, has been possessed by a tortured spirit that Paul freed from Rookwood's haunted grounds. Feeling responsible for the girl's pain, he agrees to accompany a paranormal TV show into the abandoned building, hoping to find a cure for Ella's curse. As Paul leads the group into Rookwood's labyrinth of shadows and illusions, he discovers that the dark, powerful presence that haunts his nightmares has returned. And it's stronger than ever before. This malignant entity feeds off an ancient power, a darkness that has festered within the building's walls for centuries. Even the destruction of Rookwood may not be enough to end its reign of terror…

    David Longhorn

    David Longhorn was born in North East England long before the internet, but fortunately they had plenty of books in those days! He enjoyed reading all sorts of fact and fiction in childhood and also became a huge fan of old horror movies and the BBC’s Ghost Stories for Christmas on television, despite losing a lot of sleep as a result.He went on to get a degree in English Studies, which somehow led him to a career in local government, which in turn took him into a recording studio where he provided voice-overs, read news, and did a lot of other audio stuff.
