J. L. Long, established Rochester author and the host of the monthly Rochester Writers Night literary salon, has just released his second novella, The Ghost in the Green House, a haunted house story perfect for the Halloween season.
When New York transplant Nora Braxton seeks to escape her old mistakes back east and to establish a fresh start, she moves to a small town out in the Great Plains and buys a rustic green split-level home. But there is no escape for Nora. Strange, inexplicable things quickly begin to happen inside the home and to Nora in general.
This novella plumbs the depths of psychological horror, set against the backdrop of endless horizons and flat, empty prairies.
The official book launch and live reading by the author is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7th at 6 PM. The reading will be held in the Community Room at the Rochester Public Library, located at 65 S. Main Street in downtown Rochester, with open mic readings from other area authors to follow.
The book is available through Lulu Books as an ebook and paperback (https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/jllongwrites), as well as through Inkitt (https://www.inkitt.com/stories/1852732) and Ream Stories (https://reamstories.com/page/mb2re8e1c3).
