Endorsed by Scream Queen, Felissa Rose"The Ojanox is Phenomenal! There's a new voice in horror, and his name is Daemon Manx. ~ Felissa Rose, Actress/Producer/Scream Queen - Sleepaway Camp"The Ojanox harkens back to the horror boom of the '70s and '80s, in a very good way. Manx has a knack for creating characters you'll love (or hate) and putting them through the ringer. His dialogue is sharp and storytelling gripping and fast paced. Now that I'm hooked, I need to read the rest!" – Duncan Ralston, Author of Woom and GhostlandThe year is 1979. A small New York town prepares to welcome the fall season in all the expected ways: young children bicker and boast over Halloween costumes, secret lovers meet in clandestine corners, and a tortured soul plots wicked deeds. All the while, hidden just out of view, patient and hungry… an ancient evil lurks.Welcome to Garrett Grove, an unassuming community nestled within the foothills of the Watchung Mountains. The very definition of “Everytown, USA”, it is a largely self-contained municipality, most of the residents on a first-name basis. An almost postcard-perfect location.For ten-year-old Troy Fischer, eagerly awaiting the thrills of Halloween, autumn is his favorite time of year. This spooky season looks to be the best one yet - he has caught the eye of the new girl at school, and the haunted attraction he built in his garage, called Scream in the Dark, is guaranteed to have all of his classmates talking.But something is happening to the children of Garrett Grove. A mysterious outbreak threatens the community, leaving a handful of doctors and the town’s sheriff desperate to find the source of the contagion before it is too late.“Written with beautifully descriptive scenes, The Ojanox places you directly into the quaint, small town of Garrett Grove during the Halloween season where everything is pleasant…until it isn’t. An ancient, dark entity is accidently excavated and escapes into the world with chilling results. The Ojanox is a fresh, original, plot-driven page turner that I couldn’t put down. I highly recommend it and am looking forward to Part Two of this excellent series.” – Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine"In The Ojanox, Daemon Manx creates a community and cast of characters you feel like you know personally, like you’ve known them all your life. And when you lose one of those characters, you’ve lost one of your own. Manx makes you care and makes you hurt. The Ojanox is a masterclass on characterization." ~ Patrick C. Harrison III, Author of 100% Match and Grandpappy

“Here are thirteen harrowing tales by the indisputable mistress of horror,” the Edgar Award–winning author of The Hours Before Dawn (Chattanooga Times Free Press).   Sometimes the things that go bump in the night are our own thoughts coming out to play. Celia Fremlin, an expert on portraying the inner turmoil of everyday people, captures both the psychological and the supernatural in thirteen horror stories, her first collection of short fiction.   Playing “The Quiet Game” with her boisterous twins drives one young mother to seek refuge in their favorite place—even if it is a land of make-believe. When her dying former lover makes his last request, it’s one demand too many for the woman he kept under his thumb in “The Betrayal.” Jealous of her husband’s young love, a middle-aged woman tries to remain “For Ever Fair,” until she sees the living proof of a doctor who can turn back the clock. A date night for a busy couple transforms into a living nightmare when they leave their daughter in the care of “The Baby-Sitter.” And after a rage-filled stranger comes to call, a teenage girl finally bonds with her obsessively tidy mother in “The Hated House.”   Tales of twisted paranoia, passion, and despair reside in this “outstanding collection . . . all are well-written and all are possible and none should be read when alone in a dark house” (Savannah Morning News).  Praise for Celia Fremlin   “Few people can chill the blood like Celia Fremlin.” —The Daily Telegraph   “Fremlin is here to stay as a major mistress of insight and suspense.” —The New York Times   “Britain’s Patricia Highsmith.” —The Sunday Times
