I’ve teamed up with a bunch of other swell authors to bring you spine-tingling tales to get you in the Halloween spirit. All this month, I will introduce you to a new author and their Spooktacular ghost story.
Meet: D.J. Doyle
D.J. Doyle was raised by pot-smoking hippies. She spent her days worshiping pagan deities in the HellFire Club and her nights watching horror movies and reading horror books. She now lives with her family in a treehouse, preying on unsuspecting travelers, and where she likes nothing better than coming up with ideas for new stories and plotting her next novel. Some of this might have been made up.
Spooktacular Ghost Story Excerpt from New Grange
Growls and barking from behind stopped the girl dead in her tracks. She turned in horror to catch sight of the giant dog as it pounced and pinned her to the ground. Her hands pulled clumps of short coarse hair in her attempt to hold back the snapping mouth. She was too weak and teeth ripped through the thin skin on her slight neck. Its gaped mouth bit down hard and she struggled to breathe. She tried to open the clamped jaws with her little fingers, but blood bubbled from the torn flesh, her artery severed.
Spooktacular Ghost Story Excerpt from Christ on a Bike
Sometimes it’s not the not the demon you need to be aware of. It can be any item in the room, even your own sanity. The wardrobe door flew open and banged against the wall. I thought Father Ronan shat himself. I ran over to make sure nothing heavy was in it. “It’s all right, boyos. Mostly clothes and underwear. Just watch out for the…” I received a slap on the head, “…books.”
