The Alfred Stone Trilogy - Volume 1

Michael Welker

Maison d'édition: Green Ivy

Synopsis

The Alfred Stone Trilogy takes one piece of documented history, a court record, and creates a fictitious three generation family saga leading up to a real court room scene, which is the final chapter of book three. Therefore, the book you hold in your hands now is entirely fiction, and a work which defies neat genre classification. In one sense, it is a work of Historical Fiction. Yet the overwhelming theme is that of an improbable love story, a Romance. An intertwined theme is that of 19th century English and American religiosity, as informed by the dominant book of its era, the King James Bible. So perhaps a work of Christian Fiction? No, it contains too much erotica and violence for the staid reader of Christian Fiction. So…a Gothic Romance? With touches of Magical Realism… If you are looking for something different, this is it.

Reviews-
“The first novel in Jake Bible’s series Z-Burbia hooked me. What appeared to be a jokey take on zombie fiction quickly develops some great characters and story.” -BoingBoing.net
“For those still not convinced about the zombie genre, Z-Burbia is worth a read if only for its female characters: Jake Bible doesn’t have time for vapid whimpering damsels in distress. Oh no. Bible’s characters are thinking, acting, feisty sorts.” -Lee Murray, Bram Stoker Award-winning novelist

A new supernatural suspense series that’ll have you breathlessly turning pages, perfect for fans of Home Before Dark and The Sun Down Motel. 
A haunted ghost town. A gifted medium. A truth she should've left buried. 
Every summer, revelers sneak into the abandoned town of Eden, Colorado, to celebrate an infamous crime: the Devil's Night Massacre, committed over a century ago by an outlaw nicknamed Bloody Marian. Penny Wright knows the gruesome legends better than most. She’s seen the ghosts that haunt the ruins firsthand, and she shares a history with Eden that she hoped to escape. 
Now it’s Penny's job, funded by a corporate sponsor, to make this Devil’s Night the biggest ever. When she returns home for the first time in years, she must face not only her family but Matthew Larsen—once the boy she loved, now the man who broke her heart. 
But before the festival even begins, Penny makes a grisly discovery that forces her to question how much she really knows about Eden’s secrets. As Devil’s Night approaches, the lines between the past and present begin to blur. And for Penny, the real nightmare is only just beginning.
