THE NEW NOVEL BY NICOLAS FRANCIS — A RISING VOICE IN INDEPENDENT HORROR
WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE…
The imminent release of mysterious author J.R. Heinrich’s new horror novel unleashes a wave of madness and violence across the country.
In Dos Cerros, a small town in southern Argentina near the Andes, Alexia “Alex” Monroe—a horror-movie addict and heavy metal fan—works nights at her aunt’s hotel, The Gray Owl. Her only confidant is the voice of Peter Steele (the late frontman of Type O Negative), living inside her head and holding long, unsettling conversations with her.
As paranoia mounts, Dos Cerros slips into a Lynchian fever dream: nightmares bleed into reality, time fractures, and the town turns into a trap. Brutal attacks. Hallucinations. A spreading, unstoppable bloodbath.
When the hotel becomes the last place standing, Alex and a small group of survivors barricade themselves inside—under siege all night by cannibal abominations, human killers, and something far worse: the darkest secrets of Alex’s own past clawing their way back to the surface.
Reality and horror fuse into a single blood-curdling scream…
