The Meadows: Book 1 of Legacy of Darkness Series
Not yet published
Expected 1 Dec 26A haunted-house supernatural thriller set in the Shenandoah Valley, where a fresh start collides with cult rituals and restless spirits. Southern gothic suspense built on addiction recovery, small-town warnings, and a renovation that wakes something better left alone.
Some Houses Never Let Go.
Singer-songwriter Scarlett DeHaven is seeking a fresh start in the Shenandoah Valley, leaving behind a troubled past of drug addiction and rehab. But when she purchases an abandoned house with a violent history, she discovers that the horrors of the past aren't easily forgotten.
As she tries to transform the house into a luxury bed and breakfast, Scarlett experiences terrifying visions and hears voices in the night. Cryptic warnings from strangers, and the discovery of a tunnel once used for a local cult's rituals, only sharpen her fear. And as the spirits inside the house turn their attention to Scarlett, she has one choice fight back against a force she can't see, or lose everything she came here to rebuild.
Winner of the Gold Medal in the 2020 Independent Publishers Awards for Horror.
