Money is tight after divorce and with two boys to care for. She didn't expect to bring some worse home from a rental property. Something hungry for her soul. In 1973, Blaine Griffen and Rey Montoya failed to dispossess--that's the preferred word among the Mormon elite for exorcisms--a young woman while on their missions in Chile. They lost friends and maybe a little faith. Forty-five years later, Maddie and her sons need their help. Failure this time will cost them more than their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1603582866028-4X9LGCS2JLVE2B0CK9N4/CryDownDark.jpg Last Days Books Cry Down Dark "New York Times" scariest book set in Utah. Peter Toombs never stopped loving Diana Ward. Not after they broke up; not after she married someone else; not after she died. His obsession prompts him to lease Diana's childhood home in the small Utah town of Bern. He is convinced that if he lives there, she will come back for him. Peter never got over how he failed Diana when she needed him most when they were in college. Even as he became a successful TV writer, his failure haunted him more than the monsters he created to scare others. Now he spends his days wandering Bern. When he sleeps, he dreams of ghosts: Diana's, the ghost he believes should be in the house, and the ghost of someone he never met. The townsfolk, however, don't like being watched. They have secrets they don't want Peter to learn. Some of those secrets are about Diana and her death. They might even know things about Peter and the ghosts that follow him. Joined by his friend Connor and Diana's widower Aaron, Peter must survive Bern and discover the truth behind Diana's fate. Learning the truth could exorcise the ghosts from Peter's life or it could break his heart and bring him face to face with his worst fears. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1603582603693-27FJD2RIJ2QWGICT1VS4/tranchell-cover2.jpg Last Days Books The Private Lives of Nightmares Even bad dreams have secrets.

And those are only the dreams seen from the safety of a pillow, covered in your favorite blanket. Tranchell has saved the worst nightmares for the bright light of day, where the truth can't be denied. The bad dreams are out in the open, but they hold tight to their secrets.

In this nightmare room, you'll find living tattoos, a strange karaoke host, a vengeful widow, a salesman not that interested in making a sale, and more. “An Appointment with the Knifeman” takes you inside the home of a serial killer, but who did we follow through the door? A disgruntled pharmaceuticals employee gets the better of his boss in “Hemingway at Work” and a teen girl learns that tattoos truly are forever in “Bury All Your Secrets in My Skin.” If you think poetry can't be scary, wait until you read Tranchell's “Dead Again Tomorrow” about a man who dies every day … and wakes up each morning. Collected here for the first time are Tranchell's horror movie columns “The Show Begins at 10:31” and a special essay on Stephen King. ASLEEP IN THE NIGHMARE ROOM includes eleven short stories showcasing Tranchell's wide range of styles and characters; four poems that will stop your heart, make you laugh, and make you cry; and his own unique insights into the horror movies he's grown up with and the author who shaped much of his world. Do you dare enter the nightmare room? If so, turn off the light, hide under the covers, and start to dream. Tranchell and his demons will be with you soon. https://tjtranchell.net/about daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://tjtranchell.net/contact daily 0.75 2022-08-17 https://tjtranchell.net/shop daily 0.75 2020-10-25 https://tjtranchell.net/shop/books monthly 0.5 2023-07-29 https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/blackhawkcycle monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1699371339649-EFODGBLRRS0A7FSOGEFI/4D957734-0953-4DEA-A059-1A45E6CDAA69 Shop - The Blackhawk Cycle (Hardcover) https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/the-last-temptation-of-maddie-smith-a-blackhawk-coda monthly 0.5 2026-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1681850583484-AMWOOB5AD0YGB2P0F5KK/Red+Horror+Novel+Book+Cover.jpg Shop - The Last Temptation of Maddie Smith: A Blackhawk Coda https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/the-lamentations-of-blackhawk monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1667580489193-9PRB1NE0I8ZNWEOXCB9P/lamentfront.jpg Shop - The Lamentations of Blackhawk https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/y2z70ijgphpc8f5o2dgq0jxb5l07ye monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1605382571207-B8FM1A4S06VKCGQMSLAF/Concept+1.jpg Shop - Tell No Man https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/b7wu8q2rhxdqtannytr584ahu49fi9 monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1603584159102-FUPSI40BKW11MZ7B98QQ/tranchell-cover2+%281%29.jpg Shop - The Private Lives of Nightmares https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/ise9z8o58ae1vu5ptluatl4pqep0yh monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1603584364720-1WI2PRT0QNZVSO4FFTIG/CryDownDarkFrontCov+%281%29.jpg Shop - Cry Down Dark https://tjtranchell.net/shop/p/576ogkq6ov9pkv8awdsmr7is3avwwb monthly 0.5 2026-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f94b9b1fffcb779e3f05b4f/1726368698173-E5MA8JHAA7QAMRI7N051/0D99BFF6-8065-4705-9959-AE19BDFCA598.jpeg Shop - Asleep in the Nightmare Room
