Sorority

TWISTED SISTERS
When Eve, Merilynn, and Samantha met at cheerleader camp at Greenbriar College years ago, they never expected to see one another again ... but now they're all pledging the same deadly sorority.

Beautiful, blond Eve is an award-winning cheerleader. Sweet, and innocent, she is joining Gamma Eta Pi because it's the house for cheerleaders. Full of school spirit, she has no idea what pledging the sorority really means: blood sacrifice, sexual magic, and terror beyond anything she's ever dreamed.

Samantha Penrose, once the tomboy of the trio, has grown into a no-nonsense journalism major whose curiosity and passion for the truth are likely to get her killed as she reconnects with Eve and Merilynn to investigate the sorority and the mysterious deaths of sisters who came before them.

Intuitive Merilynn has never forgotten the night at cheerleader camp when she, Eve, and Sam, took a rowboat out on Applehead Lake and saw the ghostly lights of a long-drowned town come to life beneath them. Nor has she forgotten the glowing eyes that followed her through the forest. Did they belong to the fabled Forest Knight of Greenbriar Wood? Or was it the ghost of murdered coed Holly Gayle? Merilynn won't rest until she unravels these mysteries ... even if it kills her.

PRAISE FOR TAMARA THORNE

"Tamara Thorne's BRIMSTONE is deliciously scary. Thorne's finely-etched 11-year-old heroine, Holly Tremayne, sees ghosts, but it never really bothered her until she moves to Brimstone, Arizona. She meets a fascinating, colorful cast of characters, each one harboring a dark secret from their past. Earthquakes, nightmares, aberrations and ghosts keep the reader constantly on-edge. BRIMSTONE is like a hair-raising, fun trip through a house of horrors. But it's not just one house, it's a whole city. - Kevin O'Brien, the New York Times bestselling author of THEY WON'T BE HURT and THE BETRAYED WIFE

"Tamara Thorne is the Mistress of Malignant Mansions, the Go-to Gal of the Grand Guignol; and her latest, BRIMSTONE, solidifies her place in the pantheon of modern Gothic storytellers. With a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, a rich sense of place, and ever mounting suspense, BRIMSTONE brims with chills and thrills. Highly entertaining and highly recommended!" - Jay Bonansinga, the New York Times bestselling author of THE WALKING DEAD: RETURN TO WOODBURY, SELF STORAGE, and FROZEN

"Yet another unforgettable landmark on Tamara Thorne's alternate map of haunted California-effectively expanded here to Arizona-BRIMSTONE demonstrates how much terror atmosphere and well-placed shocks can generate if handled with a deft hand. Not since the California Gothics of James Blaylock and Tim Powers has such a compelling vision of ghosts and monsters and the occult so ably tickled the spine and ruffled the short neck hairs ... The thundering climax is as satisfying and fulfilling as any Thorne has ever crafted. BRIMSTONE is a shivery delight from first page to last, guaranteed to keep you reading long past your safe bedtime. -W.D. Gagliani, author of THE JUDAS HIT

"Tamara Thorne has become one of those must-read horror writers. From her strong characters to her unique use of the supernatural, anything she writes entertains as much as it chills." -Horror World

"Tamara Thorne has an uncanny knack for combining the outrageous with the shuddery, making for wonderful, scary romps and fun reading." - Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, author of Hotel Transylvania
