Everything you need to know about the books, reading order, signed copies, and more.
The Newport Curse series should be read in order: start with The Cursed Among Us (Book 1), then Consumed By Evil (Book 2), and finally Conjuring The Demon (Book 3). Each book builds on the previous story and the series is best experienced in sequence.
It depends on what kind of horror you enjoy. If you like small-town or coming-of-age horror, start with The Cursed Among Us. If you prefer darker, more intense horror, try Inside The Devil's Nest or Kosa. For short horror fiction, Sleeping In The Fire is a great introduction. And if you love slashers with a twist, the newest release I Woke Up a Final Girl is a great entry point.
Signed copies are available directly through the online shop. Signed copies ship within the US. A signed copy of I Woke Up a Final Girl can be preordered here.
