The Haunting of Rainier Asylum–Now Available!

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the New Year. It’s a time for setting new goals, a time for reflection, a time for… HORROR?
It’s likelier than you think.
I’m very pleased to announce that my newest novel, The Haunting of Rainier Asylum, is now available. Ring in the New Year with librarians Sadie and August as they explore the dark depths of an infamous asylum.
This second volume in the Beckoning Dead series is available exclusively on Amazon! Kindle Unlimited subscribers can read it FREE!
Synopsis:
“Get home early, unless you want to meet Watchful Tom…”
Having explored the shadowed ruin of Beacon Hill, Sadie and August are drawn deeper into a dark and winding history. It was at the infamous Rainier Asylum that local horrors were first conjured, and compelled by a mix of duty and guilt, the librarians begin to look into the institution’s sordid past.
For years, locals have reported seeing something hideous stalking about the abandoned asylum—something with large eyes and twisted limbs. When a young farmhand meets this diabolical presence face-to-face and disappears, Sadie and August decide to visit the site to search for him, certain that his disappearance is linked to their investigation.
There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions. The things that walk the halls of Rainier Asylum are horrific beyond imagining, and as she descends into the depths of the forsaken building, Sadie stumbles upon something most unexpected—something that connects her to the very horrors she seeks to overcome.
Check out The Haunting of Rainier Asylum today!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful year, and that 2020 is even better! I’m going to work hard to ensure 2020 is the spookiest year on record!

IT COMES AT NIGHT
Pawn shop owner Nancy Pruitt is being stalked. Every night since bringing a mysterious painting into her home, she’s been awakened by a rapping at her bedroom window. What’s more, the nightly visitor seems to bear quite the resemblance to a figure in her new painting…
Enter Harlan Ulrich: Coffee-fueled eccentric and private detective.
Running from a ghost-filled past, Ulrich settles down in Tanglewood, Ohio, hoping to turn a new leaf and put the supernatural behind him.
But upon getting involved with Nancy’s case, the detective realizes he may have just gotten wrapped up in precisely the kind of investigation he’s been trying to avoid.

Stirrings in the Black House is now available everywhere ebooks are sold!

I’m excited to announce that my novel, Stirrings in the Black House, is now available everywhere ebooks are sold!
You can now pick up Stirrings in the Black House on Amazon, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, Google Play and Audible!
Unfortunately, this book is no longer enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited program. For readers of mine who had hoped to borrow it through that program, I apologize sincerely for this change. For a long time, I’ve been wanting to reach more readers and connect with new audiences internationally. To that end, having my books available exclusively on Amazon left a lot of readers out in the cold. In the weeks and months to come, I will be making this change with a number of my books, so stay tuned! If you’ve been wanting to read an Ambrose Ibsen novel on a device other than a Kindle, you’re in luck!
Happy reading!

Beyond– Now Available!

Incredibly
(cosmically?) excited to announce the launch of my newest novel! A
frightful tale of conspiracies, comets and paranoia, BEYOND is sure
to chill even the most jaded horror addict!
Though
it’s a bit different from my other stories, it is my hope that you’ll
enjoy this tale of otherworldly terror! I had a blast writing it. If
you were one of the many who pre-ordered it, I thank you
wholeheartedly!
For a limited time, you can snag BEYOND for a mere 99 cents, exclusively on Amazon. Subscribers to Kindle Unlimited can read it for FREE!
Synopsis:
Erich
Tellier died. Then, he came back to life…
On
the night of a long-awaited comet sighting, Erich, a university
student, comes back from the dead. Making a miraculous recovery after
a horrific car accident, he quickly returns to his musical studies
and seems to have a new zest for life. Though he mingles with his
fellow students and dedicates himself to his work, those close to him
can’t help but notice something is wrong, however.
Very
wrong.
Erich
isn’t himself anymore. His personality has changed radically, and
where he was once a middling musician, he’s suddenly and
unaccountably developed a virtuosic talent. He spends his nights
awake, walking the streets or throwing lavish parties.
What’s
more, those who spend time alone with him tend to go insane.
Amid
a string of suicides and government conspiracies, the denizens of
Moorlake, Ohio find themselves at the center of a blossoming cosmic
horror. If they don’t find out who—or what—Erich Tellier has
become, the horror is bound to spread beyond the confines of their
quiet college town.
BEYOND
is a tale of cosmic horror by Ambrose Ibsen.
