Synopsis

WINNER of the KILLER NASHVILLE CLAYMORE AWARDS

WINNER of the MAXY AWARDS


“The underbelly of fear permeates throughout like a malodorous whiff of the unthinkable...excellent writing.” Stewart Carry, Scriptwriter and Editor

Ghosts In The Glades treats the reader to a southern account of the life of Jett, a successful businessman who has had to overcome his dreadful sense of self-worth and carve a place for himself in this world while growing up with a debilitating health issue, a growth hormone deficiency, that placed him in the center of bullying nightmares growing up while at the same time, being made to feel responsible for his family losing everything in order to pay for his medical bills.

While his childhood accounts are rather uncomfortable for the reader to witness at times, the light is brought back into Jett’s story by the chance befriending of Jojo and Mags, two self-proclaimed outcasts who fit perfectly into his life and give him a sense of self-worth as well as a reprieve from being alone. He also befriends the local oddity, a man called Mr. Scroggs, who, along with a mysterious entity only referred to as Pencilman, are accused of kidnapping multiple children in their area.

Now, it’s Jett’s life that is on the line while trying to hide their secrets, because, as he had been taught, family protects each other. And, if you go against family, you yourself may become just one of the Ghosts In The Glades.

“Ghosts in the Glades is an immersive and thought-provoking read, indicative of Staci Andrea’s skill in blending emotional depth with suspenseful storytelling.” Karen Almeida, Assistant Editor, Literary Titan
