Spooky Nook is a 10,000-word "prequel of sorts" to The Calling, a supernatural thriller by Robert Swartwood. The prologue and first three chapters of The Calling are included in this e-book.
Praise for The Calling:
"The Calling is a powerful, gripping and terrifying novel, the sort that possesses your whole life while you're reading it; it'll stalk you through the day, and inform your dreams. Swartwood has delivered a novel that will become a classic."
-- Tim Lebbon, author of Echo City
"Robert Swartwood's The Calling is a diabolical rocket sled of a psychological thriller. Told through the vivid, almost druggy point of view of a young man on the edge, tangled in a web of tragedy and surreal horror, Swartwood's novel gets under the skin and stays there. Highly recommended."
-- Jay Bonansinga, co-author of The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor
"This novel is small town horror at its best."
-- Hellnotes
