Troy Aaron Ratliff is one of those amazing author friends I've made over the last year and a half and I am so excited to share the news that he is about to release his first full length novel! His career so far has consisted of short stories and novellas but this one a big wham-bam!
Here's a little bit about Troy's upcoming horror/sci-fi novel, Do I Bother You At Night?
They say nothing ever
happens in Kansas. Sylvester
Petersen used to think so too.
That is, until a mysterious new neighbor moves in next door, seemingly
out of nowhere. His handful of
friends – people who tried to help him cope with the sudden death of his wife –
think that it might be an opportunity for him to get reacquainted with the world
outside his farmhouse and to build a new relationship with his neighbor. But that idea is soon snuffed out as
strange events begin to happen around him. None of them wrong.
Just strange: driving in the middle of the night, the sulfur-like odor
coming off of him, the fact he doesn’t talk to anyone in the area.
And what about that
dog?
Sylvester chooses the
logical explanation and ignores the peculiar behavior. But when other oddities start to happen
– the kind that affects Sylvester directly – he begins to worry. His reasoning dwindles and his growing
fear points to his neighbor.
Where is that stray
dog going?
After enough time,
Sylvester starts to see and hear what the people of the area have been
muttering about: Unexplainable blue light, corn crops moving on their own…the
slaughtered cattle entirely too close to home.
And that stray dog
that keeps getting fatter and fatter…
At the peak of summer,
and with the walls closing in, Sylvester experiences something that will take
him to the brink and haunt you forever.
Bathed in loss, terror, and human spirit, Do I Bother You at Night? will be a story you won’t
forget and one that will keep you up at
night.
Love thy neighbor.
And the amazing cover...
