For those looking for a fresh horror story to add to their Halloween reading list, The Embers Hunger, written by yours truly, delivers an eerie blend of suspense and supernatural dread. The best part is... the barbecue slant.
​
When Elias Grayson buys an old barbecue restaurant, he believes he’s found the perfect place to build his dream—until the whispers begin. Shadows shift, smoke lingers without fire, and the legend of Jeremiah Cross, a pitmaster consumed by his obsession, haunts every corner. As the grand opening nears, the pit’s true hunger reveals itself — this fire does not burn for wood alone. The Ember’s Hunger is a chilling, atmospheric tale of smoke, madness, and a flame that must always be fed.
