Ebook The Castle of Sadness - Flame Tree Publishing

“One of the best contemporary horror writers to emerge in the last decade. Janz is one of my new favourites.” -Brian Keene

A year ago, composer Ben Shadeland went to Sorrows, a supposedly haunted island off the coast of California, to find inspiration for horror music. Instead, he found madness, murder, and ancient evil. His family barely survived the nightmare, and Ben vowed never to return to the island or its cursed castle.

Now Ben's little daughter has been kidnapped, and Ben is convinced that the sinister creature dwelling in the catacombs beneath Blackwood Castle is responsible. Ben joins three federal agents, a passionate medium, and others to save his daughter. But what awaits them is far worse than they imagined. The creature—an ancient god named Gabriel—has become more powerful than ever. He has summoned unspeakable monsters to the island—both human and supernatural. And Gabriel will not rest until he has his revenge.
