CEMETERY CLUB

20 years ago four friends awoke an ancient evil, and only the Cemetery Club can stop it before the whole town ends up dead. Or worse. Rocky Point is a small town with a violent history - mass graves, illegal medical experiments and brutal murders dating back centuries. Of course, when Cory, Marisol, John and Todd form the Cemetery Club, they know none of this. They’ve found the coolest place to party after school - an old crypt. But then things start to go bad. People get killed and the Cemetery Club knows the cause: malevolent creatures that turn people into zombies. When no one believes them, they descend into the infested tunnels below the town and somehow manage to stop the cannibalistic deaths. Now, twenty years later, the horror is beginning again. The Cemetery Club must reunite to defeat the menace once and for all. The problem is they can’t remember how they did it the first time. It’s a race against time to find the true source of evil infesting Rocky Point, as the Cemetery Club ventures into the cryptic maze, to face their demons in a final showdown.

“THE CEMETERY CLUB is like a plastic pumpkin bucket filled to the top with all of your favorite candies. Loads of gory fun!” --Jeff Strand, author of PRESSURE and DWELLER. "JG Faherty nails the whole small town horror concept with a King-like flair. I definitely identified with the main characters, both past and present. All in all, I thought it was excellent." - Michael McBride, author of PREDATORY INSTINCT and QUIET, KEEPS TO HIMSELF.

"With plenty of new twists on some old favorites, Faherty's latest novel provides readers with as much fun in a graveyard as the law will allow. Ancient legends, demonic shadow-creatures and ravenous zombies--what more could you ask for?" -Hank Schwaeble, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of DAMNABLE and DIABOLICAL.

"JG Faherty seizes his readers by the throat and drags them straight towards the grave with THE CEMETERY CLUB, a nail biter in the tradition of the best scare-'em-ups from the 80s. Faherty's strong characterizations and gripping suspense will leave readers hungry for more." --Gregory Lamberson, author of COSMIC FORCES and THE FRENZY WAY.

"I've known JG Faherty since he was an up-and-comer. Now he's arrived. Start reading him now - as in TODAY - so you won't have to play catch-up later." - F. Paul Wilson, author of the bestselling Repairman Jack series.

=======================================

Creepy. Disturbing. Thought-Provoking. Curious. Haunting.
These are some of the words people have used to describe my writing. I accept them as the compliments they're meant to be. My name is JG Faherty, and I write dark fiction. My stories are intended to burrow deep into my readers and elicit emotional responses, whether they be fear, laughter, or wonderment. Emotion is lynchpin of all good fiction. People have a desire to fall in love with characters, to wonder if that tickle on the neck is a loose hair, or deadly spider. If the light in the sky is a plane or an alien ship bent on destruction.

If the touch on the shoulder in the dark is the hand of a lover or the skeletal digits of an undead creature.

That's why I keep writing stories that give me the shivers, or make me shudder with dread. Or revulsion. Or maybe even chuckle with nervous laughter. Because if they touch something within me, hopefully they will touch my readers as well.

Check out my new e-book, The Monster Inside, available now for all ereaders and computers, including iPad and Macs. Here's the cover:



Everyone has a monster inside.
This might be mine.

Free Reads
As a reader, one thing I hate is going to an author's website and finding nothing but a boring list of books to buy. I mean, c'mon. You entertain me with your writing, make my web experience enjoyable too. That's what I've tried to do here. And since I can't fill the place with porn, I've added some pictures, anecdotes, rants, and even a semi-regular free read. A little something to say thanks for stopping by.
(What - you expected free gifts? Not 'til I'm making Stephen King money!)
