About the author
Angie M.
9 books4 followersHi guys,
I’m Angie, author of The Bloom Trilogy, stories born from inherited horror, haunted towns, and secrets that don’t stay buried.
I write about what lingers.
What grows roots.
And what waits patiently to be remembered.
I write where beauty and brutality overlap, where the past never stays buried, no matter how deep you think you’ve covered it.
My work is inspired by real places and real fears, usually in the shadowed corners of New England. My stories always seem to wander back to old woods, quiet towns, and things that should have stayed asleep.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me riding my Harley or getting lost in the woods with my dog Malu, my favorite place to be.
Welcome to my twisted little corner of the world.

The Gorge is not just a book—it’s an experience. What begins as what feels like it could be a quiet, atmospheric walk quickly transforms into something far darker and more unsettling. This story slowly tightens its grip, pulling you into a psychological horror that lingers long after the final page.
The setting itself feels alive. The gorge isn’t just a place; it’s a presence—twisting, oppressive, and steeped in memory. As the story unfolds, you realize that every detail matters. Nothing is random. The pink ribbon, for example, is haunting in its simplicity, carrying emotional weight that becomes devastating once its origin is revealed. Learning that it once belonged to the FMC as a child, and that the gorge was a place her mother used to bring her, adds a layer of sorrow and unease that cuts deep.
This book excels at atmosphere. The tension builds quietly, almost deceptively, until you realize you’ve been holding your breath. Angie masterfully blurs the line between past and present, memory and reality, forcing the reader to question what is safe, what is real, and what has been buried for far too long.
Rather than relying on shock value alone, The Gorge creeps under your skin through emotion, trauma, and psychological unraveling. It’s the kind of story that stays with you—images resurfacing at odd moments, themes echoing in your mind.
If you enjoy psychological horror that is deeply emotional, unsettling, and beautifully written, The Gorge is an absolute must-read. It’s haunting, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.

Dark, haunting, and utterly unpredictable.
The story opens with the FMC leaving a mental hospital, setting out for home, and stopping at the Gorge for what she expects to be a quiet moment of reflection. What begins as a peaceful walk down memory lane quickly spirals into something far more disturbing.
This book masterfully transforms nostalgia into nightmare. Each revelation pulls you deeper, twisting familiar moments into something chilling and unexpected. The pacing keeps you on edge, and just when you think you understand where the story is going, it veers sharply into darker territory.
I couldn’t put it down. If you love emotionally charged, dark psychological tales that keep you guessing until the very end, this one delivers in every way.
