Today is the day, horror fans! My latest tale of pure unadulterated terror arrives in print & ebook editions today! The Wraith is a companion piece to my bestselling The Man From Taured. It is NOT a sequel, however, it is set within the same general universe and some of the same characters from TMFT appear in this one. In fact, the agents from IDEA are back and this time my fictional town of KNORR (featured in Sapphire, The Dead Phone and other stories) is under direct threat

A companion novel to the bestselling The Man From Taured - The Wraith is coming July 9, 2019. It's available for Kindle pre-order at just 99 cents. Get it while you can. #horror #themanfromtaured #taured #newbook #newnovel #novel #preorder #kindle #99cents #suspensethriller

Proud to announce that you can now pre-order my new novel The Wraith from Amazon. Coming this July, The Wraith is a companion novel to the bestselling The Man From Taured. It is not a sequel, but deals with alternate realities and features the Agents of IDEA first appearing in TMFT. Some of your favorite characters from that novel show up here again. The Wraith is also set in my fictional town of Knorr, which has been the site of other novels like The Dead Phone and Sapphire.

It’s interesting to realize you have developed a certain style of writing. I never really thought it would happen for me. I wondered, for years, if I would ever find my own voice or find my own way to write a story. Then, suddenly, years later, here we are and I think you can probably tell a Bryan Alaspa story from another story. I can mimic others, of course, it’s part of my day job, but mostly you can tell when it’s me. One of the things I like to do is flesh out characters

It's one of those weird things that happens in the world of indie publishing. The kind of publishing I do. You put out a novel and you market the thing. The book sells pretty well at the start, then a little bit more when the audiobook comes out, but mostly it sits there. Then, out of the blue, four years later, the book just starts to generate a little buzz. Sure, you aren't exactly on the NY Times bestseller list just yet and Netflix (or some other streaming service - ahem)

The world of urban legend is one of the areas of the internet and the world prefer to live in. I love watching videos about UFOs and weird, mysterious things. I collect strange, mysterious stories like the Mad Gasser of Mattoon and other stories. One of my favorites, of course, is the supposedly true tale of The Man From Taured. Of course, I say "true" but the fact remains this story is just urban legend. Although people who like the idea of alternate dimensions love to cite

I've talked about this before, but it comes up time and again. People always want to know where the stories I write come from. What's interesting is the people you meet who try to tell you they have a great idea for a story. Hey, you should write about - XYZ. That would be a great book! I always appreciate that. My own father was a consistent source. In fact, from time to time, those suggestions are good enough to get stored away in my brain somewhere or a notebook. But for t

I have spent the past couple of days talking about my upcoming book The Revisionists as well as looking back at my novel The Man From Taured. Both of these books deal with the idea of a multiverse. What's a multiverse? It's the concept that time and space may exist on many parallel levels and there may be alternate realities or dimensions. You've likely seen this concept in many books, comic books, stories and movies. Heck, just watching the Arrowverse shows you know there's

A lot changed for me when I wrote the novel The Man from Taured. Not only has it slowly, over time, become one of my bestselling novels across all platforms, but it changed a lot of my own thinking and changed the course of my writing, too. Before TMfT I had written all kinds of weird stuff and thrillers, of course. I had toyed with the idea of alternate realities and perhaps dimensions, but as I toyed with those ideas, I began to research them, too. Of course, this ultimatel
