Today is a very special day for us.
Several months ago, Brian and I decided that we wanted to write a book together.
Today, that book is being released into the world, and we could not be more excited and proud and just really happy to finally share it with everyone.
HARROWED is a love letter to the ’80s and early ’90s horror movies that we grew up watching, and the music that provided the soundtrack to them as well. From Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Scream to Tesla, Def Leppard, and AC/DC, this book is full of references to that wonderful era of slashers and headbangers.
But while we’ve drawn much inspiration from the past, we’ve added a few modern twists of our own as well. We’d like to think the result is both a treasure trove for longtime horror fans and a great entry point for those who have never dipped their toe into the machete-infested waters of the genre. We feel that YA horror is a genre with huge potential, and we’re excited to bring The Woodsview Murders to it.

About Harrowed
Journalism Rule #1: Always report the story. Never become the story.
Avery Blair has accepted the fact that nothing exciting ever happens in her small town of Woodsview, Massachusetts. As the editor of the high school blog, she prays for something—anything—to come along that would make for a great headline.
When Beatrice Thompson’s body is found in the girls’ bathroom, Avery has her biggest story ever. The rumors circulating the school say that Beatrice took her own life, but Avery doesn’t believe it for a second. Her instincts prove true when the next day brings another body bag.
The tiny community of Woodsview has become the hunting ground for a killer known as the Harvester. The killer targets Avery and her classmates, stalking their every move and terrorizing them with morbid messages.
With the help of her boyfriend Jason, her best friend Quinn, and an aging detective who can’t keep her off the case, Avery dives head-first into her own investigation. She discovers that the secret of the Woodsview Harvester is buried in the town’s history and its annual Harvest Festival celebration. With every clue she uncovers, Avery grows closer to unmasking the killer—and becoming the next victim.
Avery Blair has finally found a story to die for…if she can stay alive long enough to write it.
