Inside The Devil's Nest by John Durgin



Releases January 17 2023

 John Durgin has outdone himself! This book is a vicious and twisted story of a man who will do anything to save his marriage and children. 


If you read his first novel, The Cursed Among Us, you know that John Durgin is a genius at setting up the scene. His attention to the details add a certain depth that draws you into his stories right away. He likes to jump right into the story, holding nothing back. This book is like watching a movie play through your mind. The character build up is fantastic. The inner dialogue of each character and their interactions with other people or their surroundings flows smoothly. The action in this book is savage and gory. And it just keeps on giving. The ending will blow you away!


Anthony is a real estate agent that witnesses a crime that puts himself and his family in danger. Fortunately, when they needed to flee their home, he has an old campground he purchased years ago. With his wife, Holly, and two kids; 16 year old Allie and 8 year old Spencer, they rush to the campground to hide in hopes of never being found. When they arrive, the caretaker, Cole, and his son Teagan, help them feel safe and help them settle in. As soon as they arrive, some of them begin to have visions. There is an evil being lurking nearby, waiting for the right moment to attack both families. 


I zoomed through this story. I was on edge for most of the time, anxiously wanting to find out what happens to everyone. There are so many different feelings while reading this story. I was angry, scared, and sad. I highly recommend reading this one. It is for everyone who loves a good horror story. You can’t go wrong picking this one up. I can see you putting this one on your favorites list at the end of the year. You have got to put John Durgin on your list of go-to authors, he is that good.

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

From the young to the old, The Deading highlights the differences of what age and time can do to change the strengths and compassion of an individual. While priorities are always different when we grow older, the basic need to survive and to be loved… never changes. Belardes reminds us that even though we have faults, we are each unique and have the capabilities to survive difficulties and come out stronger and better.  This is a strong character-driven narrative with some ornithology, creature features, and suspense. Under the watchful eye of the government, a small sea-side town tries to survive an infliction upon them. The people are changing. The once quiet and calm town has become a ruthless and dangerous community. The anxiety and stress of living in this changed town takes a toll on so ...
