“…The author has a knack for combining real historical events with his own imagination.”

https://www.curiosityboughtthebook.com/2020/09/05/last-case-at-a-baggage-auction-review/

 

“…an outstanding sense of time and place, very engaging narration, and a supernatural hook to savour (also striking illustrations from Steve Lines!)”

https://www.horrordna.com/books/last-case-at-a-baggage-auction-eric-j-guignard-book-review

 

“…definitely recommended reading for lovers of the eerie and those that like a little suspense in their reads. I am struggling to liken this book to any other, as the voice and telling are so original.”

“…prose is smooth and uncluttered, in service of a fully rounded, intelligent and consistently surprising narrative that’s packed with the type of thrills you’d expect from a scary book, along with a great deal of sumptuously researched historical detail”

1963 Detroit is a hotbed of gambling, and the weekly baggage auctions keep a busy trade. Charlie Stewart and Joey Third are skilled in the art of successful bidding, but when Joey lands a mysterious suitcase, the thrill of winning turns to terror once they realize they’ve opened something sinister.

Inside the suitcase is an antique gramophone, and the music it plays is unlike anything they’ve heard before. A chanting voice speaks to them in strange words, evoking visions of a dark, frozen land. It’s a voice that makes them sick with addiction, and it continues chanting in their heads even when the record stops playing.

Charlie sets out to solve the mystery of the unholy music and how to turn it off forever. But the urge to listen grows stronger, and the more it plays, the more the aural virus spreads, until people begin to vanish . . . feeding an apparition that seeks immortality.

The artwork of STEVE LINES for my novella, LAST CASE AT A BAGGAGE AUCTION


Can I just take a moment to showcase (er, brag, or scream in delight!) the artwork of STEVE LINES? This is one of the twelve full-page pieces he created for my novella LAST CASE AT A BAGGAGE AUCTION (dropping this Monday, 8/3).

Counting this, plus the anthology I edited, A WORLD OF HORROR, plus an upcoming project, will be three books I’ve worked (am working) on with him, and his illustrations (if possible) just keep getting better and better!

LAST CASE AT A BAGGAGE AUCTION is available for Pre-order now in Paperback, e-book (oddly at a different link), and deluxe hardback with wraparound dust jacket!!

Check out the rest of his artwork (and my story ain’t bad either) here! https://www.amazon.com/Last-Case-at-Baggage-Auction/dp/1949491250
