Night Mares
About this ebook
For a demon, a grudge is a terrible thing to waste...
The mayor in a small North Carolina town suffers a fatal accident in her home one night. Demon hunters Johann Gunter and Robert Durling are in a small bar and grill with Belinda Carstone and Dave from KMTN News when the news breaks.
Belinda and Dave cover the story, and manage to get Johann and Robert into the late mayor's house, posed as part of her crew. They don't find out a lot, but they find out enough for Johann to suspect something supernatural.
Their big break comes when someone staying at the same motel as Johann and Robert has an encounter with some kind of strange creature. While talking to her, Johann believes he knows what they are up against, and he knows it won't be an easy fight.
Things really take off after Johann and Robert go to the funeral of the mayor, and speak with the mayor's daughter. They find out the mayor was apparently trying to ward off evil...but why?
They uncover a deep, dark secret of the town's past. Something that happened decades ago, and was mostly forgotten about by the townsfolk. But now, due to a vice mayor who was too quick to act in removing the ruins of an old church, something has been accidentally re-awakened...and it seeks vengeance.
During the epic conclusion, Robert comes face-to-face with a shadowy figure who gives him something that will change the former coroner's life forever.
About the author
J.R. Pestel was born in Pennsylvania, raised in New Jersey, and lived in Manhattan for a short time. Since 1999, she has resided with her husband, 2 dogs, and 2 cats in the beautiful southwest… In Arizona.
As a child, she loved the old black and white “monster movies” of the 1950’s and 1960s… As a matter of fact, she still does.
In her youth, she was rebellious. A definite child of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Her dream at that time was to become a rock ‘n’ roll star. She even played guitar in a few bands – mainly hard rock. To this very day, she still owns the 1973 gold top Les Paul guitar that she played back then.
She met the love of her life in 1978, and they married in 1985. Still happily married to this day, they embarked on many wonderful adventures together over the years. Not the least of which was being motorsports photographers. She started photographing motorsports with her husband in 1991 and they are both still active photographers – although now it is only races at Phoenix International Raceway. It was her husband who, in 2016, encouraged her to start writing.
She has had many occupations in her lifetime—musician, video store owner, hobby shop owner, race photographer, and even candle maker. But the one occupation she loves the most is being an author.
So, although she may not be Stephen King or Anne Rice, if you’re looking for a novel that will not only chill you, but entertain as well, give the books of J.R. Pestel a try.
