Beast In The Basement
by Jason Arnopp
In a huge house in the English countryside, a reclusive, recently bereaved and increasingly unstable author toils over a book which will close a trilogy of best-selling Jade Nexus fantasy novels.
Speculation and rumour are rife among hardcore Jade Nexus fans that their heroine is set to die at the hotly-anticipated book's conclusion - a possibility against which they have begun to loudly protest as the release date nears.
How do you deal with that kind of intense pressure? How do you deal with distractions to your work, such as a violent intruder, worried messages from your agent, or a potential love interest moving into the cottage across the field? And far worse than any of those, how do you deal with the Beast in your basement?
Beast In The Basement is a contemporary horror story about obsession, revenge, censorship, hypocrisy and parental responsibility.
Parental advice: this novella features strong violence, profanity and some sexual scenes. Not recommended for minors.
