    A holiday classic by Charles Dickens. Originally published in 1843, Dickens worried about the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished, and it was his attempt to bring this disparity into the light of day, to appeal to the die-hard capitalists to take care of the downtrodden masses. Since this inequity continues, this story is still popular, and will probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

    Based on the Port St. Lucie Legend, this paranormal thriller novel revives a serial killer with “crackling dialogue . . . [and] a Satanic aura” (Hunter Shea, author of Tortures of the Damnedand The Montauk Monster). Back in the 1970s, a series of bizarre incidents occurred at what has since been known as “The Devil Tree.” Beneath this ancient denizen, evil was wrought by a sick serial killer, calling upon forces most sinister and dark. People were hung there . . . and bodies buried there . . . exhumed by the police. Overcome by superstition, some tried to cut down the tree, to no avail. Since then, it has stood in a remote section of a local park—left to its own devices—quiet in its eerie repose—until now!  Psychological-thriller author Keith Rommel has imagined the whole tale anew. He’s brought the tree to life and retold the tale with gory detail only possible in fiction. Action-packed, with spine-tingling detail, this thriller is beyond parallel in the revelations it uncovers . . . In the expert hands of Rommel, the explanation of what may have really been said—what may have really happened—under Port St. Lucie’s “Devil Tree” is chilling . . .  “The Devil Tree blankets you in dread from the start and then proceeds to smother you.” —Jason Brant, author of The Hunger series  “A gripping and terrifying tale with a razor sharp supernatural edge.” —Jack Campisi, co-host of the Monster Men horror video podcast
