New Novel is a True Suspense Thriller

There is a new novel on the book shelves, which happens to be full of suspense and the paranormal. So for all of you suspense thriller seekers, this is the book for you. Full of mystery and supernatural activity, this book will have you on the edge of your seat until you finish it.

The book focuses on Elizabeth Firestone, a young graduate artist. Fresh from the art academy in New York City she is contracted by a travel magazine to paint seascapes of the New England sea coast. She had no way of knowing the small cottage and the abandoned lighthouse adjacent to it were inhabited with ghosts from the 17th and 18th century. Being very skeptical of anything paranormal Elizabeth cannot explain the eerie events that begin to take place both in the cottage and the lighthouse soon after she moves in. At first she believes it is someone playing tricks and trying to scare her, but that notion is dispelled when she encounters ghosts that are quite physical and able to converse with her.

Bryant began writing this book after seeing a vision of what he thought to be a ghost. It was storming that night and even though Bryant`s genre is generally historical fiction he says the ghost instructed him to write this novel. Feeling he must obey this spirit (if indeed it was a spirit) he set about gathering as much information as possible about the spirit world. This encounter appeared too real to be a dream and Bryant doesn?t use drugs so he was certain he wasn?t hallucinating. At 3 am that morning he began writing this book. It was gruesome in places and Bryant says he had to stop several time to recollect his thoughts. He places a page at the beginning of this novel warning those of you with bad hearts or vivid imaginations to exercise caution should you dare to read this book.
