Inside Dweller: Face Your Fears
And plans for the second book, Inside Dweller: IN-Vasion
One of my favorite activities is to read through the reviews my first fiction book has received. Good or bad, I feel like I am able to hear from readers.
I’m really shocked that it has been so well reviewed so far. I want to share my favorite review because it validates what my husband has been saying about it all along.
As the author and originator of this story, I am too close to be scared by it, so I don’t really see it as scary.
However, this review on Amazon.com echoes what my husband has been saying all along. Let me share:
5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a five star story BUT
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
It’s a five star story but it’s 4am and I am afraid to sleep.
This is not your typical story arc. I have no idea why I got this book(maybe the kick-ass cover?)
BUT it caught me, it creeped me out, it would not let me put it down.
Yes it would qualify as a Paranormal story but it is to me a Thriller, a Mystery and a thorough breakdown of the Evil we possess.
Kudos to the writer. You made my mind all twisty turny and I plan to call my therapist in the morning.
You know, I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
However, the way my mind is churning right now? The book should be classified as Horror.
Gosh, and I toned down the ending! I did this because a lot of my beta readers said they had a difficult time with how graphic the final scene was.
However, in the second book, Inside Dweller: IN-Vasion, I don’t plan on showing any mercy. Let me explain.
Some years back, I woke up with a horrific dream. It tops some of the best horror I have ever watched or read.
Like with the first book, Genesis, if I have a dream I can use in my books, I do, and the results have been splendidly horrible and creepy. I explain what dreams went into my first book here (https://medium.com/kirstens-short-attention-span/the-true-nightmares-in-inside-dweller-genesis-d7d76982b950).
I have two dreams I have been sitting on for quite a while, and I plan on using them both in the second book. The first is super creepy, and it will occur during a chase. The second will end IN-Vasion. It is truly horrible. I hope it will eventually become known as an iconic horror scene.
Don’t worry, though. I plan on leaving a glimmer of hope despite the horrific circumstances I will place my characters in. It could be the seed that will save everyone from destruction.
