Mangled

The only survivor of a roadside bomb, Specialist Sarah Mitchell lives most people's nightmare. Her entire squad is killed. In the bustle of a busy emergency triage center, she is forgotten. 
 
Worse than being ignored, once she is reevaluated, the medical personnel then abandoned her. In order to take care of other soldiers who might live, she is given a black morgue tag, left tied down on a gurney where she waits for death in a dark corner of a foreign hospital.

When she survives until morning, others come to claim her. One by the use of technology and the other by energetic consciousness, but both manipulate the quantum singularity. In an experiment to merge human consciousness with machine, which will consume Sarah, what will she do? 

Will she continue to serve her country in another capacity? Or, will she choose the unknown and walk into eternity with a complete stranger?

No matter what Sarah decides: living forever has its consequences.

...5 out of 5 Stars- "...Fabulous anthology. A must read for Halloween enthusiasts" ~MJ Mallon, GoodReads.

...5 out of 5 Stars- "What if your nightmares could come to life?

This question is brilliantly explored in Midnight Roost, a spine-chilling collection of stories that will make you fear the dark.

Written by 20 talented authors, Midnight Roost, this book is an amazing mix of ghostly tales, paranormal phenomena, and supernatural horrors. Each story brings a unique take on terror, from stalkers both human and otherworldly to possession and occult rituals. It’s impossible to stop reading once you’re pulled into these eerie worlds.

This book is a perfect read for horror fans.

The highlight I loved about this book is the variety of stories that kept me at the edge of my seat. The storyline in each tale is packed with tension, and the twists will leave you breathless. Whether it’s a haunting or a strange alien visitation, you’ll never know what horror awaits you next.

The authors have done an exceptional job of creating stories that are as chilling as they are fascinating. The writing is captivating, with vivid descriptions that immerse the reader in every terrifying moment. This book is a must read for anyone who loves spine tingling tales that keep you up at night.

I found this book to be the perfect combination of suspense and horror. Each story brings its own unique sense of fear and intrigue. The authors’ ability to craft such vivid, terrifying worlds is impressive. I can’t wait to explore more works from these incredible writers.

Overall, a gripping and chilling horror collection" ~
