TALIA 2: HALLS OF BLOOD AVAILABLE NOW!!
Talia is back!
For generations, the town of Latham has been held under the boot of the Comstock family. Alan Comstock is no different from his predecessors, keeping the citizens at bay through murder, rape, and extortion. When Alan and his goons go too far, they attract the attention of a peculiar man… a man with a black dog at his side.
After a beloved teacher is tragically killed, Alan receives a call from his distressed superintendent, notifying him of her replacement: a substitute with only one name… Talia!
Will Alan’s reign of terror continue, or will the corruption and murder end with the slash of a razor?
This book was so much fun to write. I missed Talia and when I started this book it just seemed to flow. The horror community has been so supportive towards me and this project, I thought it was only proper to include them. The cover model for this book is none other than Killer Bunny Charlie from Facebook. Charlie is a huge supporter of indie horror and I knew she’d make the perfect model for Talia.
Talia 2: Halls of Blood is available on Amazon in ebook , paperback and hardcover . Signed copies are also available at djvhorror.com
I Love Horror charity event
On February 4th, I’ll be in Sayreville NJ slinging books from 12-6. This charity event will feature music, vendors, and raffles to benefit the Deborah heart and lung center. I’ll be joined by some serious talent in the horror world and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. Come on out and support a great cause. Featured authors include Frank J. Edler, Steven Farkas, Daemon Manx, Tim Meyer, Joseph Pesavento, Hunter Shea, Kamen Timper, J.C. Walsh, and of course, myself.
On the horizon
I have a lot projects coming in 2023, including some new issues of THE OBITUARIES with Aron Beauregard and Kristopher Triana. I have a short story collection in the works and should be ready in the next few months. Last year I signed with Death’s Head Press for three chapbooks. Due to unforeseen circumstances, DHP has decided not to move forward with the project. I have expanded upon these and all three have become novellas, spanning into one large novel. These will be a little different, with some genre blending, but I know my readers will love the brutality contained in these stories.
