The Manor  
By Scott Nicholson

       Ephram Korban has opened his mansion, located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, to various artists for a six-week retreat. Among the guests are Mason Jackson, a sculptor, and Anna Galloway, a parapsychologist. Anna isn't there to promote the arts. She is dying, and Korban Manor has been calling to her in her dreams. Could Korban himself be summoning her to his isolated and thoroughly haunted residence? Finding the answer to that question will be difficult because Korban is dead - by his own hand. Or is he? Something lives within the walls of The Manor, and little by little, it is sucking the life out of its inhabitants. Mason, who is being compelled to sculpt a life-size statue of their mysterious benefactor, and Anna, who has discovered a chilling personal connection to the malevolent Korban, try to stop his return from beyond before they are eaten alive by the evil that permeates the house.

      Scott Nicholson, who wrote the horror classic, The Red Church, has once again stepped into the shadows to lead us on a frightening expedition into the scariest places in our own minds. The writing is vibrant and the characters are all too real. Nicholson is the master of the "creepies." Plan to leave the light on for a few nights after your visit to "The Manor."

       Highly recommended!
