PAINTER, SOLDIER, HUSBAND, GHOST

Lieutenant Nick D’Nofrio is back from the war, but he is not home. The dead are on the other side of the world, but they haunt him daily. He tries to be a husband to his new wife, Emma, but he can’t connect with other people. He is obligated to paint a mural at the Paradis d’Hôtel, but only horrors spring from his imagination. Nick suffers for his art, for himself, for the guilt of his painful secret…

The memory of war follows Nick D’Nofrio to the the Paradis d’Hôtel where he encounters a spectral Spanish beauty, a mysterious jazz musician, and a ghost from his troubled, violent past. As his marriage crumbles and his sanity spins out of control Nick is forced to face his demons, the worst of which may be himself.

Abattoir Press is a new sub-imprint of Redrum Horror. Whereas Redrum Horror is dedicated solely to its numbered line of horror books, Abattoir is deigned to be a little more open as to what we release. Look for forthcoming releases like acclaimed author Ronald Malfi’s Via Dolorosa, the revised edition of Bleed by Ed Kurtz, and the hardboiled supernatural ebook series, The Sam Truman Mysteries, starting with Catch My Killer in 2012.

Thank you for visiting Abattoir Press!
