Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics Gina wakes from unconsciousness to find she and Mattie have fallen in Hungry House's basement...and another horrific world. * * * * “Gina! Wake up!” She jolted to her feet, her eyes wide. She stared at her tormentors. It wasn’t two hideous monsters sitting on the ground. It wasn’t even one monster. Mattie glared up at her. She rubbed her stomach. “Nice punch, champ. I suggest you save it for something that deserves it.” “Oh no. I’m sorry. I was having the worst nightmare, and—are you okay?” Gina crouched beside her friend. “Depends on your definition of ‘okay.’ Will I die from your fists of fury? No. But I’m not optimistic of long life and good health, given our surroundings.” Their surroundings? Gina had a look around. The horror she’d left in the dream returned a thousandfold. They were outdoors. The baleful moon overhead told her that much. Besides Mattie, it was the only familiar thing. The ground was cracked in jagged fis...

  Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics This week, Mattie and Gina, searching for their friends in Hungry House, are caught in its dark bowels. They went in to save Carrie and Braden...but can they save themselves? * * * * They arrived in the kitchen, and it was as huge as the reports had claimed. The stove was long gone, but the metal pipe of an exhaust hung from the brick chimney. It glinted the light from their phones. Open shelves hung over the sink that took up a quarter of a long wall. The few doors left on rustic wooden cabinets hung askew, their bent hinges ready to let go and send them to their final rest on the dust-strewn ground. “Nothing. No sign of tracks from rats or possums. Or Carrie and Braden. Shouldn’t there be spiderwebs?” As Gina put her finger on what bothered her the most about the house, the hairs on her arms rose. “It’s like a half-finished movie set of an abandoned building. A lot of details are missing.” Mattie opened her mouth. Her expression state...

  Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics Meet Gina and Mattie in our first excerpt. They've just received word their bestie Carrie and her little brother Braden might be in trouble. Lured by the forbidding manse on the edge of town, they're heading into danger. Can Gina and Mattie reach them before Hungry House feeds? * * * * Gina felt she was being chuted to the foreboding structure, with no ability to turn aside. Her obsession, and worry for her friends, spurred her on. She glanced at Mattie. Her friend’s expression was determined, and she ran faster. If Gina stopped, Mattie would keep going. “They wouldn’t have gone in. It’s locked tighter than a safe. The gate, the doors. The windows are boarded up.” Gina put on a burst of speed to keep up with her friend. “Your stories about it excited them. They’ll be at the gate, scaring each other about ghosts and goblins.” Mattie gusted a laugh that sounded suspiciously like a sob. Does she feel what I do…that we’re already to...

  Cover Image: Erin Dameron-Hill Graphics Hi all! I'm so excited to announce my next book is now available for pre-order. This is another dark fantasy verging on horror. Think Joe Hill's Locke & Key set in a Narnian hellscape, and you have On the Edge of Nowhere. I guess it's fair to say I'm a bit obsessed with weird old houses. First, it was brooding Halfer Home in Children , now it's Hungry House, which sits on the edge of a town named Nowhere. It leads everywhere, however. Read on for the official blurb: Those who step inside Hungry House never return. But when the abandoned house on the edge of town is ready to feed, it won’t be denied.  Inquisitive Gina and her impulsive best friend Mattie know better than to enter the abandoned Victorian. The mansion on the edge of Nowhere, Georgia, has a reputation for ‘eating’ those who dare to step inside.
