Fire Dance
Mike Sirota is an absolute pro of a writer and, even for non-aficionados of ghost stories, these pages sing. --John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of Treasure Hunt and Damage
So great to have a new book from legendary writing coach Mike Sirota. When he writes, you should listen! --Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Live to Tell.
Product Description
LEGENDARY AUTHOR MIKE SIROTA RETURNS! The flames took them all. They spared no one. From the circle of dancers, spinning in their dementia, to the crazed killer in the dungeon below, every man and woman in Concordia Sanitarium was burned alive. Over a century later, few know the story of the fire. The ruins of the Sanitarium stand isolated in the lonely Anza-Borrego Desert until one gruesome murder after another rocks the nearby quiet community of Smoke Tree, California. A spirit has risen from the sand, an entity searching for a host to possess a host with two strong hands.

"Fire Dance" is a great, scary read. Get comfortable on the couch and prepare to stay there - because this is one book that is difficult to put down once you have started reading it. A classic horror novel.

I worked on this title and enjoyed every second. I hadn't been familiar with Mike Sirota's work, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But as I read this great ghost story, I started picking up his others. The book begins hundred + years ago and tells the backstory of a mental institution, it's horrific secret being kept in the basement, and how everyone burned to death in a freak accident. The rest of the book follows the people of a small desert town and how they must figure out how to survive the murderous rampage of Bruno, the horrific secret.
