Five Nights in a Haunted Cabin – Night Four

Horror authors Tamara Thorne and Alistair Cross spent five nights documenting the phenomena inside – and outside – of an allegedly haunted cabin tucked deep in the woods in Gold Country. By turns intrigued and terrorized, Thorne & Cross not only came away with great story ideas, they left the cabin with a new definition of horror.

Now, night four of our adventure in a haunted cabin is available now at Thorne & Cross: Carnival Macabre: https://bit.ly/2OQ2VyG

Five Nights in a Haunted Cabin is read by Jamison Walker and Caroline Kiley.

Daniel Kraus joins Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE!

Tonight at 8 pm EST, we’ll be talking to bestseller, Daniel Kraus, on Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE!

George A. Romero invented the modern zombie with Night of the Living Dead, creating a monster that has become a key part of pop culture. Romero often felt hemmed in by the constraints of film-making.

To tell the story of the rise of the zombies and the fall of humanity the way it should be told, Romero turned to fiction. Unfortunately, when he died, the story was incomplete.

Enter Daniel Kraus, co-author, with Guillermo del Toro, of the New York Times bestseller The Shape of Water (based on the Academy Award-winning movie) and Trollhunters (which became an Emmy Award-winning series), and author of The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch (an Entertainment Weekly Top 10 Book of the Year).

A lifelong Romero fan, Kraus was honored to be asked, by Romero’s widow, to complete The Living Dead.
