Growing up, Halloween was always my favorite holiday, and that mischievous magic of the night has remained with me since. Readers will immediately feel that passion for the holiday as they are immersed in the black and orange atmosphere of the most devilishly wonderful nights of the year.

I truly hope you will check out my new collection and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Hello!

Down in the Deep Dark Places, a collection of my best short stories from the past 15 years, as well as six brand new tales of terror, is now available in paperback, ebook and limited edition hardcover.



https://www.amazon.com/Down-Deep-Plac...

In this collection, Jason Parent gathers nineteen devilish tales (six never before published) that plunge the reader headfirst into a whirlpool of nightmares, each more terrifying than the last. From high up on the hills to far below the surface, from lush forest to barren desert to deepest sea to blackest space, a monstrous pilgrimage awaits those who travel these pages that blends horror, science fiction, and, at times, humor, in a way that will not leave visitors unscathed. The reader will journey alongside a wickedly diverse set of protagonists, making one thing abundantly clear: no matter who you are or where you may be, the darkness can and will find you.

· A castaway finds a terrible strength to survive, while another finds strength in thoughts of revenge.
· A desperate father turns to the supernatural as a means to be with his daughter.
· A group of American soldiers finds there are worse things than insurgents beneath the mountains of Afghanistan.
· A priest resists an unholy temptation from a strangely disfigured ward.
· An astronaut discovers that even in the emptiness of space, something will hear her scream.

Horrifying and hauntingly perverse, Parent’s collection invites you to delve into deeper and darker places with every tale. How deep into the darkness will you go?

Gordon is a bad man. Violent and vulgar, crude and a little crazy, he’s the kind of guy who takes what he wants no matter who he has to go through to get it. But when he meets Sarah, a strung-out stripper indebted to her sleazebag boss, he finds something more valuable than all the bank loot he’s just stolen: raunchy, filthy, unapologetic love. And when she steals every penny of his score out from under him, he knows he’s found his soulmate.

As quickly as love comes, it is lost. When Sarah causes the disappearance of her boss’s priceless Chihuahua, she also disappears, and the odds Gordon will see his new love again shrivel like nuts in a polar plunge. Armed to the teeth and ready to rumble, Gordon’s going to have to kill a whole lot of SOBs to get Sarah and his money back.

Praise for WHITE TRASH AND DIRTY DINGOES:

“Jason Parent reminds me of an outwardly unassuming serial killer whom neighbors describe as a quiet man, the kind of guy who keeps to himself, and who wouldn’t hurt a fly. On the evidence of his latest book, Parent belongs, not only on your reading list, but also on some kind of government watch list. White Trash and Dirty Dingoes is a laudably offensive (the outrage mob are gonna love this one), gratuitously violent, relentlessly sleazy slice of ‘Florida Man’-pulp that reads like the kinda thing Elmore Leonard and Charles Willeford might have cooked up in the strip club at the tail end of a meth binge. Fast, funny (there’s a laugh every paragraph, let alone page) and most of all wrong…so, so wrong. Read this guano-crazy thing before they lobotomize the man (and rightly so).” —Adam Howe, author of Tijuana Donkey Showdown and Scapegoat (with James Newman)

“White Trash and Dirty Dingoes is an incredible study in excess. This story is overflowing with pulp action, raunchy sex, and the kind of lowbrow humor that you’ll hate yourself for laughing at, even as you can’t help it. Jason Parent has merged neo-noir, exploitation, and black comedy into a masterpiece of literary violence and filth.” —Curtis M. Lawson, author of It’s a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World

ARCs of my next novel are now available for review on Net Galley. Thank you for giving it a look!

It was only a matter of time before I revisited a certain malevolent bitch of a spider, but Victoria is a whole new type of story built into the What Hides Within universe. Taking place 8 years after the events of What Hides Within, the novel explores what a teenage Victoria has become after walking out of her home with a rather nasty bug in her ear.

Told primarily from Victoria's perspective (and a bit of Chester's as well), this book is a stand-alone work. It has a much different feel than WHW, more of a horror/thriller like Seeing Evil, but with a touch of the humor that many enjoyed in the first novel. It is intended to appeal to young adult and adult fans alike, a wicked twist on the coming-of-age type tale full of adventure and thrills. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Thanks for giving it a look, and Happy Holidays!
