    The Whistlebrass HorrorThe Whistlebrass Horror

    Written by Jack Keely and Briar Lee Mitchell

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Casey didn’t believe in monsters until they stole his sister. Shortly after teenage newcomer Casey Wilde arrives in the haunted town of Whistlebrass, Vermont, his little sister disappears. Finding her won’t be easy–Casey is up against a suave sociopath, a legion of living shadows, and a reptilian humanoid capable of stealing his life force and crushing him into dust. Who can Casey ask for help when no sane adult will believe his story?

    About the Authors

    This book was co-authored by Jack Keely and Briar Lee Mitchell

    Jack Keely

    “The Whistlebrass Horror” is Jack Keely’s first novel. The story concerns the strange events that occur at Halloween in the misbegotten town of Whistlebrass, Vermont. The book includes many of Jack’s illustrations. He and co-author, Briar Lee Mitchell are currently at work on a sequel, “The Whistlebrass Storm Watcher.” Jack Keely received his bachelor’s degree in illustration at Rhode Island School of Design, and obtained his master’s degree at Cranbrook Academy of Art. He co-authored “The Outer Space Place” and “The Dinosaur Store” with Sylvia Branzei. He also illustrated many of Sylvia’s books including the best-selling “Grossology” series. In addition, Jack has illustrated many other books by different authors.

    Briar Lee Mitchell

    “Write what you know” is the classic advice given to authors. Briar Lee Mitchell definitely seems to adhere to that maxim. The polar setting for Briar’s WALKING ON MARS serial echoes her experiences in the world’s coldest climate as a guest at McMurdo Base in Antarctica. Warming up on Andros Island in the Bahamas helped her set the scene for DARK LIGHTS. She and her dive partners were offered $100 rewards from the Navy base there should any of them find a live torpedo out on the reefs. The BIG ASS SHARK author recently donned a wet suit to climb into a shark cage in the northern Pacific. Then Briar and her stalwart search and rescue dog, Thor, patrolled the Georgia woods and succeeded in helping the police locate and recover a missing person. The experience will no doubt fuel her future fiction. When not engaging in her edgier pastimes, Briar creates digital paintings for a diverse list of clients ranging from Warner Bros. to the U. S. Air Force. Her work has been featured in films, video games, and exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. She also spends a lot of time floating in her Florida pool watching clouds drift by and imagining mayhem.

      I’ve loved the thrill of horror books since I was a kid! I read every Goosebumps book and every ghost story that I could get my hands on. Now, as an adult, I still try to get my hands on every horror book I can! I love books that give me a chill!
