Items related to Ouroboros
In a small coastal town, an ancient force stirs, drawn by the cumulative power of life and death, grief and sorrow, and ultimately, endless love.
OUROBOROS - life out of death.
Tom Christiansen's wife of 35-years, Dolly, is dead. His world suddenly shattered, Tom takes refuge in his house to grieve and reflect. Tom's thin veil of reality and fantasy begins to crack and slip. He hears things: the rusty creak of the backyard swing; the tap to tiny feet from an upstairs room. And he sees things, as well: a small rubber ball bouncing slowly down the stairs; birds like silent sentinels on electrical wires; a strange little pigtailed girl suddenly appearing in his yard, and what is that mysterious figure lying in the upstairs bed that he used to share with his beloved wife?
OUROBOROS - a new cycle has begun.
Tom's long-time neighbors, and dearest friends, Mick and Robbi Hamlin begin to notice strange behavior from grief-stricken Tom. The witness dinner place-settings for two. They hear hushed conversations from the old house, as if Tom is speaking to himself, as if he is not alone. There is a pale little girl in the backyard, swinging ceaselessly. And something is rustling in the bushes, peering out from the undergrowth with inquisitive eyes.
OUROBOROS - the end is just the beginning.

About the Author:
"Ouroboros is, quite literally, haunting. It's dark themes are brought to life by scenes and characters hard to forget, immeasurably enriched by the skilful exploration of friendship and duty that extend beyond the grave. I can recall only two horror novels that so effectively depict the fear of dying, and what lies beyond, or that resonate so long after the final page is turned: Stephen King's Pet Semetary, and William Sloan's The Edge of Running Water. Kelly and Weekes are keeping good company." -- Stephen R. George (Jack Ellis) Author of The Forgotten, and Dark Miracle
Review:
"Quaintly humorous at times, and occasionally stomach turning in its colorful descriptiveness of gore, it is suspense which drives this story. Once you begin reading, you will find yourself near unable to put it down...From its touching scenes of interpersonal kindness to its frightfully vivid scenes of unspeakable terrors, Ouroboros is a gripping read." -- Horrorbound Online Magazine. --Horrorbound Online Magazine
