Every villain is the hero of their own story. Nothing could be more accurate for Aubriana Harvester, the Ferry Mistress of San Francisco. Betrayed by her best friend at the dawn of the Collapse, Aubriana is forced to unravel the mysteries of a world now consumed by impossible magic and flee from civilization as it begins to topple into a new reality occupied by ancient gods and forgotten ghosts. It’s amazing what you can do when you refuse to die. Set in the universe of the Collapse and occurring parallel to the events of break-out horror hit “The Bruja,” “Dread Harvester” is a novella by Michael Molisani.
Michael Molisani has had a mind full of terrible horror and bewildering beauty his entire life. Unable to exorcise these visions of worlds beyond imagining, he set out to become a writer. Having no idea what a terrible decision this was, he soon went mad, burrowing into the unspoken mysteries of how to tell a story worth reading in a style both pleasing and entertaining. When he’s not hard at work writing, Michael Molisani can be found falling backward in time on the sidewalks of Virginia City, Nevada; or exploring the remote mysteries of The Great Basin. Michael and his wife, Kimberly, reside in Northern Nevada.
A shorter work by Michael Molisani, this takes place while the world is collapsing and gives the perspective of a character who takes on an important role as the VeilFall series develops. The key word when it comes to the Dread Harvester is determination. When the whole world is falling apart around her, when she is betrayed, mutilated, and left for dead, she continues to fight. This is a story about the will of a woman which is unsurpassed in it's depth and intensity.
