Pressbox (Press Release) -
YouTube star George Thorn gets a thrill out of frightening the life out of his viewers.
And the Hampshire horror addict is now doubling his efforts with another novella that could easily cause sleepless nights.
The 26-year-old multi-media master has built up a loyal online following since launching his Thornwood YouTube channel.
The entertaining mix of journalism, reviews and ghost stories makes for avid viewing.
George’s latest novella, The Visiting Hour, has just been released to critical acclaim – and can only add to the intrigue surrounding the new kid on the horror authors’ block.
He explained: “The Visiting Hour is about former inmate turned preacher, Jim Ridge, who is on a mission to save everyone.
“However, his devotion to his cause can cloud his thinking.
“When he hears that the prison where he spent his young adult years is set to be demolished, Jim must step back inside to save the souls of his inmate friends.
“To do this, he must break a curse.
“The ghost of deranged psychopath, Francis McCready, enjoys tormenting his victims.
“To prevent the curse of Rhode Park being released with the prison’s demolition, Jim has to beat Francis McCready.”
George’s first release, Nation, was a memorable fantasy western that expertly mixes fact and fiction to provide a riveting read.
After publishing a collection of eerily good short ghost stories, he released his second novella to further critical acclaim.
UCC is a disturbing account of a school reunion set in the bleak landscape of Alaska.
As fans have come to expect, The Visiting Hour, is another slice of powerful and imaginative storytelling with a dark underbelly.
George added: “My dream is to create stories that are different, weird and charming for readers in every genre.
“I never believe that my stories are too bizarre - if you think it’ll work, what have you got to lose from telling them?
“The Visiting Hour is the latest step on my journey to entertain those who are looking for something different.”
