If you want to read the opening of REQUIEM IN FROST before committing to buying it, now you can!


Naching T. Kassa has been kind enough to host this excerpt on her blog:



Naching was one of my competitors in the Next Great Horror Writer Contest, whose work was so consistently amazing that she held first place for most of the competition. (I only won by making it into the Top 3 and then winning the final challenge, which was for our novels.) Naching is now Head of Publishing for HorrorAddicts and an intern for Crystal Lake Publishing. Indeed, she was one of the editors for REQUIEM IN FROST! I highly recommend checking out her work.
