Celebrate Halloween with Ashwood



Treat yourself this Halloween to ASHWOOD!

A friend and fellow author at Distinguished Press is celebrating the release of her YA horror novel. Originally scheduled to launch on Halloween, you can get the book now for eBook or paperback! For a limited time only, the eBook is only 99 cents!

Let me tell you about the story.



When sixteen-year-old Willow goes urban exploring in an abandoned asylum she expects the dark halls, creepy echoes, and ominous atmosphere. But she doesn’t expect it to follow her home. After the trip, Willow becomes haunted by nightmares in which she never left Ashwood Asylum. Nightmares where she is pursued by grotesque, mind-infesting horrors called the Mora who feed off the fear of mortals. Unfortunately for squeamish Willow, they are hungry. And she is their perfect meal.


Upon waking, Willow recalls only fleeting memories of dead butterflies, hollow eyes and discordant whispers. But slowly these phantasms begin to bleed into her daily life, making Willow question her own sanity. She soon realizes that the solution lies solely within the decrepit walls of Ashwood. As the boundary between dreams and reality disintegrates, Willow must find the courage to defeat the leader of the Mora before he traps her soul in the nightmare forever.

Check out this excerpt from the story!
