Death Rhythm - psychological suspense/horror FREE {post #16}
Note - NO LONGER FREE
In this novel of horror and psychological suspense, Andrew Byrd learns of his mother’s sadistic past through an aunt he’s only just met. When he meets his aunt's strange neighbors, he quickly learns that his mother’s savage adolescence was only the seed for a series of awful events unfolding in the present. Will he be able to stop them before it's too late? And what about the mysterious Evelyn? Will the echoes of an old drum lead him to her? Or will they merely draw him into a vicious cycle that is impossible to stop? Death Rhythm on Amazon Death Rhythm on Smashwords I hope you'll take a look!

The $0.99 price seems to have hit all the bookstores. I hope you'll give it a look!

"Review by: Tiffany Harkleroad on Aug. 29, 2010 :
Andrew was unlucky, because he wrecked his car in the middle of nowhere. Turns out nowhere was actually pretty close to where his long lost Aunt Mae lives, so the cops help him connect with her, and she takes him in for a few days while his car gets repaired. While he is there, he stumbles across a local cemetery, some strange neighbors, a dead cat, and some pretty deeply buried family secrets. Andrew is forced to face up to a sick, twisted side to his family, which he never knew existed before now. From the opening scene of this book, I was hooked. The prologue was not an easy thing to read, it was clear from the get go, this was going to be an extremely dark novel, and in the hands of an unskilled writer, it could have easily careened into campy, cheesy, fluff. Thankfully, it did not. Joel Arnold has written a novel that would make King fans not only proud, but thoroughly satisfied. I found the story to be very well developed, and the storytelling quite vivid. As Andrew enters the old family home, and begins unearthing its secrets, I felt as if I was there with him. I really loved the development of Mae's character, and found her to be quite sympathetic. Edna, on the other hand, is not fully developed until closer to the end of the book, which I find appropriate, and I love the turns her character takes. I found the book full of surprising and unusual plot twists, and I was interested right up to the very end. I dare you to read this book without the hairs on your arm standing completely on end." |

Tonight we're getting more snow here. Seems like one of the snowiest winters I've experienced in a long time. I've gotta admit, I'm about ready for spring. However, it is the right kind of night to curl up with a good book!

Picked it up on the Nook!
EDIT: Added a TOC and page breaks and some formatting that Smashwords probably destroyed and now looks great, can't wait to jump into it. I'll put it towards the top of the list! Last edited by jhempel24; 02-01-2011 at 01:20 AM. |

You are seriously messed up man. LOL. I enjoyed the book quite a bit, but could you let me know about the whole drum thing?
It seemed kind of secondary, but it's in the title of the book, so maybe something went over my head. Great book though!! I'll have to pick up Northwoods Deep now! |

As for the drum thing, I see that as kind of tying the whole thing together - kind of a rhythmical frame that the story hangs on. Does that make any sense?? |
