Hand Me Downs

Beschreibung

A Haunting Legacy John and Branwen face challenges as a couple-his violent past and her unwanted pregnancy. Just when life threatens to overwhelm them, Branwen receives an offer of help from an unlikely source. Now, John must face his lifelong fears to find the strength to fight an ancient power and save Branwen from her family legacy. But first, John and Branwen must stop hiding things-from each other and from themselves-and learn to face the truth, no matter their fear of the consequences. A haunting fantasy story about the lasting power of family legacy. A page-turning tale of love and sacrifice. An excerpt from Hand Me Downs: John was in the grips of an insistent memory that wouldn't let him rest. Whenever an upsetting memory caught at him like this, especially from his difficult seventeenth year, John had learned long ago it was best not to resist. Something inside was going to have its way with him. Fighting would only make it worse. This particular memory hadn't demanded his attention for so long. Until tonight, he'd dared hope he was done with this one. The odd solitude of an overnight flight was preferable to a huge family gathering for this sort of ordeal, and certainly better than the twisted filter of his nightmares. At least while he was awake, he knew the worst night of his life was when he'd at last started to take control and change the course he was on. His dreaming life gave him no such relief.

Autor

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That's just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.

Kari's first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.

Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.

Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she's happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they're better off not knowing more about.

Kari's novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
