GHOSTS...
The latest viral sensation has arrived. All the kids are doing it. It's called 'Summoning the Dead.' It's just a silly Latin sacriment someone found online. They call it 'Nomon's Ritual.' It can't be real, right?
After a spate of gruesome teenage deaths–all seemingly connected to a new online trend–bizarro reporter and perpetual man-child Shane Mogg employs the help of his only friend and fellow journalist, Ed, to help him investigate just what in the 'hell' is going on.
Rumours suggest the dead are returning, brought back by careless words and youthful folly. Ripped from Hell or pulled from Heaven, only one thing is certain–they are angry. The dead are always angry.
If you loved the tense, investigative horror of Koji Suzuki's Ring or enjoy the otherwordly scares of the Conjuring Universe, then Iain Rob Wright's Ghosts is a book for you!

The only suspect is an 8-year old boy.
But there's no way a child could be responsible for so much misery... Is there?
Sammie has a secret, want to hear it?
When washed-up priest Angela Murs and skittish ghost hunter Tim Golding are summoned to a vast countryside estate, they have no idea what to expect. While it's clear that the young resident Samuel Raymeady is a very disturbed child, there's surely no way he could be behind the recent spate of accidents and deaths around his home. He's just a boy...
Sammie is dirty, malnourished, and perhaps the victim of a negligent mother, but as Angela and Tim's investigations take them deeper into the mystery, they realize that there is more going on than they ever could have imagined.
First came The Exorcist. Then came The Omen. Now there's another creepy child to keep you awake at night. Sam by Iain Rob Wright. You'll never see the end coming.

From the author
IRW - Sam is my love letter to movies like The Omen and The Exorcist. It's a claustrophobic little tale set in an English Mansion on a rainy night with a strange little boy and a dark, terrifying secret. It's one of my reader's favourites and Tim and Angela are characters for whom I have a lot of affection.

QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR
How would you describe this book?
It's a classic "spooky" tale where things start off a little peculiar and slowly progress towards downright disturbing. It's a book heavy on atmosphere and characters.
Can you tell us a bit about the plot?
Sure! It is about a family. An ordinary family struggling to put the past behind them. When an evil force affects their lives, it forces them to come to terms with things a lot quicker than they had expected. It's about a man fighting to keep his wife and son from harm, but making mistakes along the way.
What author has most influenced you as a writer?
Like many other horror authors, Stephen King is the man I most respect. Like King, my books are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. I, too, like to kill my darlings.
Anything you would like to say to someone buying this book?
Yeah, I hope it gives them nightmares, and if it does they should drop drop me a line and let me know. Other than that, just a big thank you for giving one of my books a try. I cannot express the gratitude I have that people allow me to do what I do for a living. I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
