About the Author
J. Thorn believes in the imaginative power of the
horror novel and the escape from reality it provides. He knows that embracing
the entire spectrum of human emotion, even its dark realms, makes for a more
meaningful and authentic life.
"...Preta's Realm is a fine example of character building
done right. Mr. Thorn does an excellent job of crafting the characters and
making sure that you can identify with them. He does a better job than some of
the heavy hitters in the horror realm, actually."
Bryan Hall
Author of
Containment Room Seven
"...grabs you by the throat and does not let go. Incredibly graphic it had me screwing my face up in horror at many of the scenes, yet eagerly clicking for the next page just to see what would happen next."
Bernadette Davies from Amazon.com
"Be prepared to be unable to put this book aside until it is finished! The story builds like a mammoth wave and pushes you on its crest to a crashing finale. I was spent by the time the ride was over."
uhltides from Amazon.com
"If you ever read John Saul, Stephen King or VC Andrews and you liked them, then buy this and every book this author writes.
This particular book is grossly engrossing. Had to say that because that's what it is. I can't put it down. The story grabs you. It is haunting and plays with your mind. There is always that wonder about who the true evil is. Just a very good thriller!"
