Emmy’s comments from the "And with madness comes the light" ~ An Experiment in Terror Discussion Board group.

#2.5 in the EIT series, this novella is set between Red Fox and Dead Sky Morning:

This short story/novella sees amateur Youtube ghost-hunters, Perry Palomino and Dex Foray, investigating the real-life hauntings of Portland's infamous Benson Hotel. It occurs between books #2 (Red Fox) and #3 (Dead Sky Morning) and is the perfect primer for anyone interested in the EIT series.

Book 5 in the EIT series:

When the life you wanted has crumbled beneath your fingers, there’s nothing left to do but pick up the pieces and soldier on. You’ve done this before.

But what happens when you no longer feel like yourself anymore? When fires spontaneously start-up around you, when you hear growling coming from underneath your bed, and you no longer recognize your face in the mirror. What happens then?

Ghost-hunter Perry Palomino doesn’t have much time to find out. Now, the evil she used to hunt is a lot closer to home. It’s inside of her, taking over her life bit-by-terrifying bit, and there’s only one person who can help her.


If part of her doesn’t kill him first.

Book 4 in the EIT series:

Ama­teur ghost-hunter Perry Palomino has bat­tled ghosts, fought off skin­walk­ers and skirted the fine line between life and death. But can she sur­vive bunk­ing down in Seat­tle for a week with her partner (and man she secretly loves) Dex and his perfect girl­friend, Jennifer? And can she do so while being tor­mented by a mali­cious spirit from Dex’s increas­ingly shady past? With love and life in the bal­ance, Perry must dis­cover the truth among the lies or risk los­ing every­thing she's ever cared about.

Book 3 in the EIT series:

With the Experiment in Terror show finding some success, amateur ghost hunters Perry Palomino and Dex Foray embark on their most terrifying investigation yet. A tiny, fog-shrouded island in the rough strait between British Columbia and Washington State has held a dark secret for decades: It was a former leper colony where over forty souls were left to rot, die and bury each other. Now a functioning campground, Perry and Dex spend an isolated weekend there to investigate potential hauntings but as the duo quickly find out, there is more to fear on D’Arcy Island than just ghosts. The island quickly pits partner against partner, spiraling the pair into madness that serves to destroy their sanity, their relationship and their very lives.

Book 2 in the EIT series:

With Book Two of the Experiment in Terror Series, Perry Palomino and Dex Foray trade in the stormy Oregon coast for the unforgiving deserts of New Mexico.

In the for­got­ten town of Red Fox, a Navajo cou­ple is tor­tured by things unseen and by motives unknown. Wild ani­mals slink through their house in the dark, a bar­rage of stones pound their roof nightly, and muti­lated sheep car­casses are turn­ing up on their prop­erty. Armed with a cam­era and just enough to go on, Perry and Dex travel to the des­o­late locale, hop­ing to film the super­nat­ural occur­rences and add cred­i­bil­ity to their flail­ing web­cast. Only their show has a lot more work­ing against them than just grow­ing pains. Tested by dubi­ous ranch hands, a ghost from Dex’s past, and shapeshift­ing decep­tion, the ama­teur ghost hunters must learn to trust each other in order to fight the most ancient of myths…or die trying.

Book 1 in the EIT series:

With all the vampire, werewolf and faerie books out there, it's easy to become numb to all things supernatural. The antidote? Darkhouse introduces two real and unforgettable characters, Perry Palomino & Dex Foray, amateur ghost hunters who are "attractive, relatable and oddly heroic," "flawed but loveable," "slightly crazy" and just the most endearing pair to ever tackle the paranormal...just don't call them normal. Darkhouse is a thrilling and sexy new take on concepts like Supernatural and The X-Files, bringing a breath of fresh air to a genre that has been inundated with the dead.

Normally I..."

Cool! Thanks!

Oh, much much more than that. It will just be NC17, XXX rated. :D

Do you want to make character spoiler/non spoiler folders and threads? I'll work on the book threads.

I'll maybe retitle the folders. Spoiler folder, non spoilers with book synopsis for each? Do we need non spoiler/spoiler character threads?

Totally bitch. She would have hated her even more. :(

Hi, Em! I'll mod with you if you want....."


Done. Hopefully more will join!

@Laura: I'll keep that in mind if it gets crazy popular.

Do I need to make a spoiler free zone?

@Laura I know. It's so heartbreaking but.....

@Tiki You have so many valid points.


It was about time we finally met Jenn and saw how their relationship worked. Or didn't rather. Tough on Perry? Hell yes but she could see how unhealthy it was at least.

Also there were some very hard conversations they had: while stuck in the basement and at the very end. Brutal. And when everybody finally gets to read The Dex-Files version? SO INTENSE! My heart breaks for BOTH of them. *sigh*

I want more deets on the karaoke! I want a DEX POV of that scene!

No seriously! I like him. Am I alone in this? Not for Perry, mind you. But in general. Is he really any more of an ass then Dex can be? :)

Or any ideas for other topics??? Anyone wanna Mod with me?

Forever known as a rapist mustache... Definitely love it. LOL.

Hey Samina! Welcome! ;)

LMAO HeatherJay!!! What an intro. :D
Heehee! Welcome!

Hey Terri! Similar story. I got HOOKED with Darkhouse.

LOL. Stuntwoman Perry. Yep, she's awesome. Insecure but a firecracker!

And what about Dex's ass? ;)

Welcome!

LOL. What's everybody's thoughts on my favorite douchecanoe?

Oy. Not an easy topic. Any thoughts? I have many. :/
