Hideous: A Monstrously Erotic Novella

by Bret Paris

Eve Cartwright is a renowned reporter with a tormented past. Paroled to the isolated town of Hollow Creek, her life is one level above hell. She has landed in a town without a heart, without a soul, without children. A town hiding a horrific secret.
Eve lives a daily nightmare of savage locals and a sadistic Sheriff. Each night, dreams of Eve’s dead daughter come to her in a whiskey laden sleep. There is little to live for, until a local is savagely killed. Emile, the town’s newspaper man, dismisses Old Bob’s death as a drunk and a mountain lion. But, there’s something wrong, and Eve knows it. Threats and warnings, to leave the story alone, only heighten Eve’s suspicions.
Then, the twins appear, Aaron and Thera. The perfect man, the perfect woman. Dark, mysterious, erotic. Their sexuality awakens Eve’s deepest desires and the townspeople’s greatest fears.
When another local disappears and dark monsters hide in the night, Eve becomes the hunted. Something inhuman wants Eve. The Sheriff will never allow Eve to expose Hollow Creek’s macabre secret, while others struggle with gut wrenching guilt over the lost lives of the innocent.
To obtain redemption, Eve must discover the truth. To warn the world, she must survive creatures both beautiful and hideous.

About the author

Bret Paris has often been described as one of the last Renaissance men. He studied law at Claremont College before deciding to play professional baseball. After several years of playing in the minor leagues for the Giants and Cardinals, he decided to return to college and resume his studies. He is an inventor, businessman, dedicated father, and a professional athlete in three sports.

But his passion, since childhood, has always been the love of writing. He is the author of several screenplays, including "The Last Angry Man", a story based on the life of the late Lyle Alzado. "Hideous", a modern day story of science gone terribly wrong and "Radio Men", written with Derek Barton, the story of childhood friends chasing the dream of becoming DJ's during the golden age of rock and roll music.

Gabriel's Rule is his first novel, a fast paced, gritty story of a master assassin killing America's Elite.

Reviews

[Derek · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like a good horror story, and who doesn't, you will absolutely love Bret Paris' book, "Hideous." The man is a great writer whose imagination is equally amazing. Hideous is definitely a "page turner." It will keep you riveted until the very last page. I will bet Hollywood will snatch this book up and make a movie out of it. I will be first in line to buy a ticket!!! Derek Barton
