The papers call it “The Suicide Virus.” The teenagers of Gethsemane, Ohio, are killing themselves at an alarming rate.

Steven Wrigley is trying to survive his senior year of high school, still reeling from the death of his mother and adjusting to life with his father. While sleeping, Steven writes names in a notebook-- the names of dead teenagers before he can possibly know they’re dead. These messages fill him with dread, clues to some mystery he must try to unravel. Along the way, he meets a girl who becomes another kind of obsession: Elise Devon.

Elise’s secrets keep her distanced from everyone. She has a special place she calls the Obscura. She goes there when she is depressed or angry. The Obscura makes her feel like nothing she’s ever felt before. She soon realizes the Obscura may be partially to blame for the suicides. When she loses herself to the Obscura, she fears she also gives herself to something much darker, something much more powerful. Something calling itself the Sorrow King.

Who is the Sorrow King?

He is carved from wood and bone.

He smells like wax, dead leaves, and memories.

He travels by moonlight and drinks the sorrow of others.

And, drunk from this sorrow, he must always create more.

Can love exact vengeance on a monster made from madness, depression, and misery? Or will the Sorrow King bleed the town dry before satiating himself and moving on?

As an added bonus if you order the limited edition of Sorrow King you'll also receive a free exclusive PDF of THE STORM a full length novel that will never be reprinted.

Synopsis of free novel.

Ten years ago, John Fresk’s older brother disappeared and has since been presumed dead.

Now, a storm blows through the town of Glowers Hook, Ohio. For John, the storm changes everything. He is unable to leave the perimeter of his parents’ farm. Their house has collapsed, trapping his mother in the cellar beneath the rubble. He finds his father’s corpse, horribly mutilated. But he is not alone on the farm. A girl named Heather Duvall is trapped there with him. Together, they work to free John’s mother from the rubble, but Heather tells John that he must be restrained after dark. She says he becomes a monster at night. Is she telling the truth or is she the monster? Can they survive each other long enough to find freedom? Does all of this have anything to do with his brother’s disappearance?

The Storm is a gory trip through familiar horror territory with a surreal, mind-bending conclusion all its own.

Full length novel digital download comes with purchase of The Sorrow King limited.
