Influencer Jun 24, 2022

by Ambrose Ibsen

$0.99

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.

A FACE FROM THE PAST

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.

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...

by Ambrose Ibsen

( 337 )

$3.99

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.

There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions.

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.
