J. C. Nicholson
The story turns into a psychological thriller when a school teacher moves to California to please his wife. After living in LA for a year Keith Anders is overwhelmed by the city and its demands, and finds himself living on pills.
On a whim, Anders moves to Oregon to a tiny hole in the wall town called Perryville. His oddly quiet landlord fills him with rumors and legends that hint at bizarre activities in Perryville, but instead of a hoped for bliss, the teacher finds pretense, lies, secrets and murder, with eerie heart stopping moments that hint at the supernatural.
J.C. Nicholson, author of Something Wicked Came Undone, is a native of Western Massachusetts. Her early years focused on raising a family, writing and publishing poetry. When her children left the nest, she moved to Southern California to write and explode on paper. Her first novel Torrid Zone was published on 1st Book.com, an internet publishing company. Her second book, Something Wicked Came Undone is published on AuthorHouse and will make you beg for mercy. Her third book, The Bastard's Mother will follow later this year.
At the turn of the 20th century, the southern coast of Oregon was slammed with a storm that devastated a group of towns. One of the towns was Perryville. During that storm, clouds gathered, skies blackened, and immeasurable amounts of water were washed over the land. Perryville, being the closest town to the Jaquinta River, was the first to have the water cross its’ banks. The river washed over the land until it connected with a dip in the Perryville Cemetery where it collected and deepened.
Within hours, several coffins rose from their hallowed ground, pulled along by a current that took everything in its path that wasn’t anchored down. When the storm subsided, the caskets sank deep into the mud, or so it seemed. In the aftermath, something odd happened. Skeletal forms were seen darting from the cemetery into the forest. The legend grew, and with it, stories about Perryville grew too. Some say the stories are nonsense and never occurred. Others say they did and still do, which makes it easy to believe, since the story I’m about to tell you happened in the millennium, in the year 2000 AD. You decide.
