Get Free by Mark Robinson

Running blindly through deep, dark woods, Callie Ireson thinks she’s finally escaped her abductor and his cabin from hell. Reaching the highway, she flags down a passing truck driver, but things don’t...

It’s nuts. And it’s not like they stole it or anything cus who’s ready my stuff? Weird how people get the same idea at similar times.

I know the feeling. Watched Weapons and the similarity to the plot in my first book Dead Close fried my mind!

Classic.

About 25% through and I have to agree with them!

Oh man, let me know when House is done, one of my favourite comedy horror movies. So jealous you get to write it!

All three books in my THE UNSEEN trilogy are just 99 cents each on Kindle through the end of October.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZ3NP5B...

Promotional graphic for all 3 novels in my The Unseen trilogy. Shows the following blurb on the screen of a retro old-fashioned TV with knobs and dials.

“As a lifelong horror movie geek and diehard physical media collector, the moment I heard the concept for The Unseen I knew I had to read it. I tore through the first book in a single sitting and was immediately fiending for more. Smith has since expanded the story into a full trilogy that I will hopefully not have to visit an alternate reality to see adapted into a film one day. If you are a horror movie geek, you will absolutely love these books!”
