The Magdalena Curse

A little boy becomes a voice for something sinister after his family is torn apart by tragedy in this paranormal tale.

It only takes a couple of visits to convince Dr. Elizabeth Bancroft that Adam Hunter is not just having bad dreams. He’s a child possessed.

His father is desperate: adamant that his son’s affliction is the result of a curse he incurred in the depths of the Amazon, where a badly misguided military operation ended in a terrifying and macabre encounter. There he met two women—one who placed the curse and the other with whom any hope of saving his son resides.

Mark Hunter leaves the Scottish Highlands to beg help from the mysterious woman, leaving his son in the care of Elizabeth—who is about to discover there are equally dark secrets on their own doorstep.

And in her blood . . .

“I loved this book and the author’s writing style. It is spooky and creepy and keeps you turning pages. . . . The atmosphere is definitely a creepy Gothic kind and it’s a tale of good versus evil, Nazis, witchcraft, and a trip that takes us from the Amazon to the Scottish Highlands with never ending suspense. With characters that you really care about The Magdalena Curse is a spooky and thrilling read for a dark winter’s night. Just keep your lights on.” —Suspense Magazine

“The Magdalena Curse is an excellent book for people that enjoy the horror genre. It’s also a great book for anyone that loves a good mystery.” —Fresh Fiction
