THE UNSEEN - An adult horror novel about a group of friends who reunite over the Christmas holiday at a villa in the ski resort Mount Diamond, which is haunted by an evil spirit feeding on the souls of its guests through their fears. Features a Black cast and LGBT themes (you’ll quickly notice a reoccurring theme here). A blend of 80s horror and psychological elements with a teaspoon of fantasy, I would describe The Unseen as Evil Dead meets Silent Hill. The moral of the story isn’t overcoming your fear, it’s acknowledging it. Knowing is half the battle, after all.
Mount Diamond Resort is Oregon’s prime winter getaway. But within its snowy woodland lies an interdimensional parasite feeding on its customers.
When a ghost warns Juanita, a woman haunted by insecurities she’s always ignored, of imminent danger she immediately tries to convince her friends their cabin is haunted but they refuse to believe her. Deciding to avoid the problem, she sets out to leave alone but quickly discovers the resort won’t let her go.
A disturbing find sends her on a mission to prove there is more to Mount Diamond Resort than meets the eye. Deep in the underbelly of Diamond town, she learns the resort is merely a guise of an ancient evil imprisoned ‘outside.’ Its freedom would have deadly consequences for all life as she knows it. And now that she knows the truth, Juanita finds herself at the top of its kill list. The entity weaponizes the fears and anxieties she thought long suppressed to prey on her soul, the fuel it needs to break free. She must finally face the traumas she has avoided all her life or she and everyone she knows will die… endlessly.
TABOO - An adult horror-romance and urban fantasy about a professional demon hunter who ends up falling for a demon. Black and gay, it’s influenced by the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. So think Noah’s Arc meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Interning at Maryland’s top agency of demon hunters and the grandson of a legendary Lordslayer, Will Onifede’s future is as bright as it gets. What isn’t bright is his romantic life. A string of bad dates has made it clear that he’s playing the dating game all wrong. On a date with a colleague, he switches his strategy and plays it cool. Only he plays it too cool and ruins their date. Before Will can apologize, his colleague vanishes.
When a locator spell goes awry, Will takes it upon himself to search for clues at the last place any human should be, the bar Taboo in Downtown Baltimore, where demons reign. It’s the last place he expects to meet another human, the grounded and oh so sexy Lionel. Just… one problem. Lionel isn’t human at all, but a shifter.
As danger push Will and Lionel together, their bond becomes intimate, a death sentence for them both. Literally. Yet Lionel has the answers Will needs to break his case and Will has the magic to dispel Lionel’s curse. Neither can deny the power they have over the other, even as a darkness strives to keep them apart. If only this game came with a manual.
