DOWNLOAD EBOOKGord Rollo's chilling homage to slasher films! "A [serial killer] who could rival all those slasher greats of the past." During the great depression, a small backwoods community in Iowa face even more difficult times than most, having to endure the slowly fading sanity of their leader, Reverend Joshua Miller. When it is clear the man has slipped beyond the edge of reason and perhaps signed a deal with the devil, the citizens unite to stop him any way they can, breaking into the church to lash the reverend to his wooden alter cross then boarding up the windows and doors to leave him to fate and God's judgment. The people of Oak Valley then abandoned their town to the cornfields and woods; ending the madness for what they hoped was forever. They were wrong! Seventy-four years later, the corn and trees have taken back the area and not much is left of the once thriving little community but Joshua Miller's desecrated church still stands, and within its boarded up and sun-baked walls something that used to be a holy man waits for whoever is unfortunate enough to release him from his cross... THE SCARECROW WILL WALK AT MIDNIGHT Don't miss out on this story that readers call... "Horrifying and imaginative." "Perfect for Halloween!" "A return to the golden age of horror!" "Chilling. Suspenseful." "The murders are creative and gross!" Special Bonus Content: The short story The Last Straw by Gord Rollo

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTiny people made of ancient straw, noble and brave, hidden in a mysterious valley, are suddenly attacked. Can they be protected? Craw, their evil blackbird enemy, bent on destroying the Straw People, would have to be defeated. Hiding his true identity, he waits for the right time to unveil his terror. Will this be the end of Straw Valley? Trolfs, Trolks, Trogwomps and other monstrous creatures will have to be fought. The valley is on the brink of War! Dweezlehumbard, a timid Strawwilligan boy, makes an unexpected discovery. Can he stop the evil once and for all? "Tales of Endiluvia, The Discovery," is part one of a folklore fantasy adventure three-book series for middle-grade readers. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian England, the story takes the reader into the mysterious world of the Straw People, otherwise known as Strawwilligans. These tiny, eccentric folk, (nigh short of a kitchen fork), were once formed in the fields of an ancient and mystic straw. They, having lived in a secret valley for millennia and hidden from the human world were suddenly happened upon by a nine-year-old boy in 1919 England. Tales of Endiluvia retells the story of a troubled eleven-year-old orphaned Strawwilligan boy, Dweezlehumbard Thistlethatch, and his nine-year-old brother who, despite being hounded by insecurities and fears, rise to the challenge of the village's pending destruction. The story chronicles Dweezlehumbard's rise to fame. A boy once despised and frowned upon by those within his village now prepares for a journey across hostile territories to enlist an ancient race of angry Scarecrows to save his fickle villagers from the dreaded Blackbird Battalion who terrorize the valley. In an act of revenge, Craw their Blackbird foe captures Dweezlehumbard's dear inventor friend, Mr Strewwingle, and holds him, prisoner. Dweezle must now save him and his village! The demanding quest will also render a more personal journey, where ultimately Dweezlehumbard discovers his real identity as he searches for the truth about his parent's disappearance. With impending danger, ruthless monsters and a sense of heart-throbbing discovery, Dweezlehumbard uncovers the power of the Bekkorim (the hidden power of the chosen one), new friendships, and his true worth. Dweezlehumbard and his new companions set out on a journey north to the dreaded Scarecrow Valley, where they are to forge old alliances with savage, malicious Scarecrows to help defeat Craw, their villainous blackbird enemy, once and for all. This journey continues in book two (which is still in writing) where the company veers off course, landing them in dire situations before they even reach Scarecrow Valley.
