2016 One dark night, one sleepy town, one family gripped by terror. The EAPI paranormal team are called to investigate dark poltergeist activity. But, as the eternal night finally loosens its grip, it seems that some evil deeds are never forgotten, reaching out from beyond the grave to exact their revenge...

Season‘s Greetings to all, and as a little gift from me to you, The Manningtree Account novella is FREE to download from Amazon Kindle this weekend only – 23rd / 24th December!

“…with beaks as deadly as blades, let them peck eyes from skulls, and tear flesh from bones. They shalt do my bidding. We shalt listen and dance to their cries. I would spare them the cold this bleak night, their bodies warmer for the blanket of blood.”

"She was looking down at her through the window, its diamond lines slicing her like a cake. She liked cake, she liked mother‘s honey cake. She liked the moon, it was pretty tonight, it shimmered, full and bloated, swollen with its cycle. It would soon be a sliver, a crescent slice again. She did not much care for it then."

Shameless self promoting of my new book coming next month, with a little cover reveal. Daughters of the Oak ?

I planed to read a couple of pages of this late last night just to get a feel of it. That plan went out the window very quickly and I finished it in one go. Such a great read. Really atmospheric, really spooky!! It has the historical interest of the Witch Hunts mixed with modern day paranormal investigation. I'm not a believer in the paranormal at all, and this had me spooked. Highly recommended. Can't wait for the extended edition. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

GRThomas2014 I read this in one sitting. Couldn't put it down 💙 7y
NamelessCityApparel I was the same! 🖤 7y

"However, there is a man. One who wheedles his employment of local parish, town, village and hamlet. One who is trusted, esteemed and feared. He comes with those in his employ, to watch, gathering evidence and confession. His success speaks of a countryside rife with evil, an intemperate plague of witches, the Devil‘s Whores."

This was a darkly delightful novella set across two time periods. Modern day paranormal investigation takes a dark turn digging into the fiery past and history of brutal witch hunts. Wonderfully menacing, and it's soon to be released as an expanded version, woot! (I've interviewed this writer at length on my blog, drop by and see what we chatted about) 💕

BeckyWrightAuthor 👌 Lovely review...thank you, Sir ❤ 7y
ellenreadauthor Great book and review. ❤️🌹 7y

"...they leapt. The lost. The shadows. The evil. The wagers and bargains made by helpless souls. They all leapt at the poor child. Darkness tore through her heart. Long talons ripped the flesh of her body as poison ran through her veins, burning her soul from her feeble body."

Oh I loved this novella. It was an unexpected chilling treat after reading a much sweeter story from @BeckyWrightAuthor A fabulous tale based in history and present day. A witchy tale of past wrongs coming back to haunt the present. I read it in the middle of the night from beginning to end which added to the scare but also left me rather suspicious of my wardrobe! #mustread #scaryread #novella #fantasy #darkfantasy

BeckyWrightAuthor Wonderful review lovely @GRThomas2014 thank you so much 😍💕 7y
