Midnight Showing

In this sequel to Shepherd’s adult debut, Malice House, Haven is on the run from her family curse, her personal demons, and literal monsters, accompanied by her half-sister Kylie. Uncle Arnold is their biggest fear, with his uncanny ability to bend others to his terrible will. Determined to use Haven’s curse—the ability to create real-life monsters from her drawings on paper—and Kylie’s curse—the ability to create reality simply by writing the words—they seek shelter with mysterious producer, hacker, and horror aficionado Donovan Robles, or as his online persona is called, SlasherDasher, in the hills of Hollywood. What follows is a hunt for a killer who seems to be targeting Haven and Kylie’s bloodline, complete with monsters of the worst kind. The hunt’s conclusion is as gut-wrenching as the horror screenplays sprinkled throughout this joyride of a novel, but Haven’s personal journey has an even more heart-wrenching conclusion.
