Titles By Ambrose Ibsen
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Dallas Corso is on top of the world.
With millions of adoring subscribers, devilish good looks and business savvy as developed as his six-pack abs, he enjoys unparalleled success on social media. As the king of men's fitness influencers, he's cultivated a polished image—hard-working, motivational and honest.
But there's another side to Dallas Corso, one you won't find in a magazine.
Greedy, self-obsessed and tirelessly judgmental, it's only a matter of time before his true colors show.
When a cruel late-night post of his goes viral and drives one of his followers to suicide, Dallas finds his high-powered life falling to pieces. Attempts to smooth things over with the bereaved only seem to open the floodgates; he's hounded by terrifying visions in the night, tailed by monstrous entities in the streets and subjected to strange afflictions that put his life's work at risk.
Cursed and driven to madness for his hateful deeds, Dallas stands to lose far more than his lucrative career...
Influencer is a full-length novel of supernatural terror by Ambrose Ibsen, author of The House of Long Shadows, Asylum and The Haunting of Beacon Hill.
Once upon a time, Jonathan West lost his best friend, Ansel, under horrific circumstances.
Or, at least, he thought he had.
On a warm summer night, he finds himself reunited with the dead man—and hunted by a hideous entity that occupies Ansel's body.
In his hour of need, Jonathan could have gone to the authorities, or hired an esteemed security service.
Instead, he winds up soliciting help from none other than Tanglewood's most curmudgeonly private eye.
Harlan Ulrich is on the case, for better or worse. The over-caffeinated eccentric will have to employ every tactic in his unorthodox playbook if he's to save the client—and himself.
DRESSED IN SMOKE is a novel of supernatural suspense, the second in the Detective Harlan Ulrich series.
A string of kidnappings has the village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois on edge.
Longtime resident Edgar August thinks he knows who's behind it.
Edgar has a secret. In his spare time, he enjoys looking into his neighbors' windows, observing their private lives. The old doctor who lives behind him has been acting strangely as of late, and witnessing his erratic behaviors over the course of weeks, Edgar begins to suspect that the retired physician, Marcel Dubois, is the kidnapper.
Marcel is indeed up to something—but that something, it turns out, is more horrifying than a mere kidnapping.
The Withering is the third novel in the House of Souls series.
Sadie has a gift. And she'll do anything to keep from using it.
At sixteen, Sadie Young had a brush with death, and as a result she became more sensitive to the supernatural. Rather than embrace this gift, she spent years running from it, and from the darkness that once preyed upon her.
Now twenty-five and working as a librarian, Sadie is called upon by a desperate family friend to look into a strange series of events. A teenaged girl has entered a reputedly haunted house in town and has gone mad. Committed, the girl attempts suicide and claims to be terrorized at all hours by a horrific specter known as “Mother Maggot”.
Despite having subdued her gift for the past nine years, Sadie wishes to assist the girl and reticently agrees to visit the site of the haunting. But upon entering the house on Beacon Hill, she discovers that Mother Maggot isn't merely a figment of a disturbed teen's imagination...
The house at 889 Morgan Road has been empty almost thirty years. Maybe it should have stayed that way.
Kevin Taylor is an internet-famous handyman on a mission: Find a house and renovate it in thirty days. By flipping a derelict house in a month's time and chronicling the entire thing on video for his online subscribers, he seeks to impress a handful of network TV producers and become a star.
The problems that plague this property will require more than elbow grease to fix, however.
Shadows throughout the home are distorted, and an enigmatic trespasser keeps showing up in his footage. Worse still are the hideous voices that issue from otherwise empty rooms in the dead of night.
Amid mounting dangers, Kevin is forced to meet the house's shadowed past head-on—a past, he begins to suspect, he wants nothing to do with. Armed only with the hearsay of locals and the frightening clues he's uncovered within the home, he attempts to find out what led to the house's abandonment while juggling his strenuous renovation projects.
What he uncovers is horrible beyond imagination. All signs seem to be pointing to one thing:
Something in the house is awakening.
"Get home early, unless you want to meet Watchful Tom..."
Having explored the shadowed ruin of Beacon Hill, Sadie and August are drawn deeper into a dark and winding history. It was at the infamous Rainier Asylum that local horrors were first conjured, and compelled by a mix of duty and guilt, the librarians begin to look into the institution's sordid past.
For years, locals have reported seeing something hideous stalking about the abandoned asylum—something with large eyes and twisted limbs. When a young farmhand meets this diabolical presence face-to-face and disappears, Sadie and August decide to visit the site to search for him, certain that his disappearance is linked to their investigation.
There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions. The things that walk the halls of Rainier Asylum are horrific beyond imagining, and as she descends into the depths of the forsaken building, Sadie stumbles upon something most unexpected—something that connects her to the very horrors she seeks to overcome.
The Haunting of Rainier Asylum is the second novel in the Beckoning Dead series.
The house had not been lived in, but it had never been empty...
Fresh from their expedition into Rainier Asylum, librarians Sadie and August attempt to dig further into the past, uncovering hideous truths related to the noxious cult.
Their research into the diabolical sect dredges up more questions than answers, however—especially where Sadie's own history is concerned. She finds herself wondering just how much of what she's been told about her origins is true, and is assailed by doubts about her upbringing.
While grappling with her own angst, Sadie encounters a ghost from her past and soon finds herself steered to the doorstep of a lonesome manor house. This crumbling place, hidden amidst the pines, may prove to be the black heart at the very center of the diabolical conspiracy. The two librarians set out into the remote hillside to explore the shadowed property, but the house—and its nightmarish tenants—are not what they seem.
Whatever answers they stand to gain from their trip may come at too high a cost.
THE HAUNTING OF WINSLOW MANOR is the third novel in the Beckoning Dead series.
“Something is watching from behind the walls...”
The move into 889 Morgan Road was supposed to be a fresh start for Joseph Dubois and his family. What they got instead was a nightmare.
Dark shadows in the halls are only the beginning. At night, guttural noises issue from behind the walls, and the family reports seeing a terrifying figure wandering the premises. Desperately seeking someone with experience in supernatural matters, Joseph calls upon his uncle, Marcel.
Retired surgeon Marcel Dubois has a special gift: The ability to communicate with his dead wife. Harnessing this gift allows him to plumb the depths of the afterlife and to confront the paranormal. Arriving in Detroit, Marcel seeks to uncover the truth about the strange figure seen in his nephew's new house.
But when his questions are finally answered, Marcel finds himself at the center of a horror without parallel.
The House of Long Shadows seeks another lodger.
MALEFIC is the second novel in the House of Souls series.
"They say the Jackal Man lives in that house..."
Months after a family is forced to flee the beachfront property on 100 Winthrop Road, three young travelers lost outside of Cutler, Maine find themselves taking shelter in it. Strapped for cash, the three of them spend a night in the house, wondering why the lovely old building has been left abandoned.
They don't have to wonder for long.
Strange things take place in the empty house. Noises come from behind the walls, and its occupants feel as though they're being constantly watched. The townsfolk are quick to warn them away from the property, sharing with them bits and pieces of its terrible history.
But by then, it may already be too late. Winthrop House has a mind of its own, and the entities that dwell there won't rest until they have what they want.
Something has always lived in Winthrop House...
After his book becomes a best-seller, novelist Jack Ripley moves into a house on the edge of Cutler Harbor with his wife and two daughters. Nearly a century old, Winthrop House is newly-restored and boasts a gorgeous oceanfront view.
But everything is not what it seems.
Though picturesque, Jack learns that the house has been shunned for decades by the locals, owing to a number of mysterious disappearances and inexplicable deaths on the grounds.
The Ripleys begin to grapple with the property's vile reputation, learning more about its sordid history and experiencing strange things within its walls. What was once a dream home quickly becomes a nightmare for the family as they encounter the terrifying presence that has existed there since times immemorial.

Running from a ghost-filled past, Ulrich settles down in Tanglewood, Ohio, hoping to turn a new leaf and put the supernatural behind him.
