Ghostwriter

by Ravis Harnell

Budding horror screenwriter Chris Skinner enlists friend and police detective Rand Allen in his search for a location with an unsavory history. What he finds in a vacant local apartment, however, entices him beyond lurid inspiration into a generations-old legacy of obsession, murder and supernatural power that offers him the ultimate story ... if he's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

About the author

Ravis Harnell is the pen name of writer/journalist/critic Scott Harrell. A former Air Force brat, he began his first unfinished novel at the age of eight. He asked his mother if he could include swear words, since it was going to be a real, published book; she said no. He won several awards for writing during his aborted stint in college. Scott’s professional writing career began in the mid-’90s, when he wandered into an office just as a ‘zine publisher was firing an editor. He spent the next decade championing bands that didn’t suck, and mocking those that did. While he still writes music and cultural criticism for various regional and national outlets under his given name, Scott has largely returned to his original literary love: lying about interesting things happening to nonexistent people, creatures and inanimate objects. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, and enjoys reading, fishing, drinking, golf, and date night with his wife, Rebecca.

[Laura Keane · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this fun, bloody romp through St. Petersburg! Highly recommend for fans of the horror genre and anyone who wants to see, hear, taste and feel the slightly seedy side of life in my hometown. Plus, it'll make an excellent movie.
