"A Phantom Passion" coming February 2, 2015!

Here's a bit of a follow-up to the earlier announcement of my next book. If you remember, a little over a week ago, I announced my next book as a horror novella to be released on February 2nd, 2015. Although the estimated date has not changed, I now feel more comfortable sharing the details of the next book. So, here are those details:

A Phantom Passion releases on February 2nd, 2015, exclusively on Amazon. This new and original horror novella follows a freelance photographer, Leroy "Lee" Vellon, as he falls in love with the ghost haunting his neighbor's apartment. Of course, not all is what it seems, and there are terrifying consequences when one interferes with the dead.

Although it may sound like a lovey-dovey fantasy-romance book, rest assured, it's not. At its core, A Phantom Passion is a horror story that aims to horrify. It's a seamless blend of horror and mystery, with a pinch of romance and drama to amplify said horror. It's a supernatural horror story with themes of unrequited love and loneliness.

So, what can you expect from A Phantom Passion? Well, this is my most complete story. (It's also my first attempt at a novella.) The characters, including their names, were carefully thought-out. The romance is meant to be subtle, as to avoid interfering with the horror. The mystery is supposed to be engaging. Meanwhile, the horror will consist of unnerving suspense, ominous atmosphere, creepy imagery, true-to-life horrors, and subtle frights. If you're familiar with the horror in my Tales From Under The Bed series, then you'll feel right at home with A Phantom Passion. (I am working on making it a little more creepy, though.)

So, that's what you can expect from A Phantom Passion when it releases on February 2nd, 2015. The pre-order should be available at least a week before release date, so look out for that. Of course, I'll let you know when it's available for pre-order and regular purchase on this blog and on Twitter @Jonny_Athan. I'm working day-and-night to make this my best story yet, so I hope you enjoy the final product. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks for reading,
