Grey Angel

Aidan M D Hale

If your whole life was a disaster and you were given a chance to change the past... What would you do?

 

Death has been Mark Black’s companion for as long as he can remember. The people closest to him ripped away at a moment’s notice.


Forced to move in with his odd Grandfather Sabian Black after a runaway truck took the lives of his Father and brother. Both Mark and his mother find themselves trapped in the Church of Mary Lucifer, a cult masquerading as a church of new scientology. Its members obsessed with dream travelling and the astral plane.


Mark is left alone after his mother escapes the nefarious clutches of Sabian Black before the cult members commit mass suicide at his Grandfather’s command. Was it suicide or was it murder?


Unable to locate his mother Mark finds himself in a children’s home, but death hasn’t finished with him yet and a series of fatalities stalk his existence causing him to withdraw into himself and shun society.


Stalked by death the curse attempts to conclude its hunt when Mark is involved in a train crash that leaves him at deaths door.

Wotcha,

Read the pitch and chapter one only - just a short comment - I ignored typos, as you said this is a work in progress. I liked the first chapter, good overall - thought it could have got to it a bit sooner - first bit repetitive in a couple of places. I think a little cut would speed it up.

Aside from that, nothing useful - I think it's a good start, suitably foreboding.

Good luck!

You have written a very interesting and unique storyline, which I do like, and created a most memorable main character in Mark. The dialogue is realistic and well written and the pace of your story flows well. All of this along with your descriptive writing makes your horror novel a pleasure to read. Backed.

Dear Aidan
excellent read. scary in parts for me but that is what you wanted yes?
I loved your short and long pitch both really sell your book which they are meant too so CONGRATS, and love the way you write. Your ability with words to craft an orginal read is amazing. the characters have decided to take up permanent residence but i will insist they leave soom to go home. ha!
Please take a moment to look, COMMENT which is important to me, and BACK my book. if not that is OK
also
the VERY best of luck to you

BACKED BY ME FOR SURE.

Dear Aidan, I love your touching story :) - I remember when my son was born & they had overdosed me, I looked down at my body from the corner of the room & realized that I had died - I have it in my memoirs. :) Your pitch enticed me to read & your crisp paragraphs & dialogue kept me reading. :) Great write! :) I was right there with you in your story. :) I've backed both of your books :) - you have already backed my memoirs book. :) Thanks so very much. :) Love, Susie :)
