This review is from: The Ulasiga (Paperback)

First let me start with saying I read for enjoyment and I thouroughly enjoyed this novel.

I started the novel with a concern that this was going to be too much science fiction; of which I am not a fan. I was surprised to find a little horror, a little science fiction and a lot of adventure and mystery. The author paints a very clear picture of the heros in this story with realistic descriptions and personality developements.

The writers imagination took me to the forest, a grocery store and inside a cave. I felt sadness and joy along with the characters and especially cringed for Justin. I actually found myself smiling with the children Davy connected with. I also found myself cheering for Davy and Roberta as they struggled with everyday tasks.

Thank you Mr. Parkhurst for an incredible read.

I look forward to reading future books from this author

the ULASIGA

NEW RELEASE! KINDLE Davy doesn’t let Down Syndrome stop him from living a normal life but when one of his hikes in the mountains brings him too close to a subterranean creature, ulasiga, the mind controlling creature uses Davy’s love of children to send him on a mission. The ulasiga projects the dark underground as a safe haven for abused children. It uses this to send Davy out to bring him this endless supply of food. Justin knows another beating is coming, he can hear it in his drunken mother’s voice. His decision to go with the nice man to a safe place may have come too late. Even if he escapes the whipping, he may end up as dinner for the dark creature. Biography Glenn Oliver Parkhurst was born Glenn Oliver Parkhurst. Makes sense. My Dad was a career Marine, Sempter Fi, so I never stayed in one place long. My Mother, the best, was from Friendship, NY, thus the town in my novel. Friendship was a great place for a young boy to grow up and still holds a place in my heart. I am now a single father of 4 boys and a pack of grandchildren. I love travel and outdoor adventures, food, and family. Besides horror, I write humor and links to many of those stories can be found on my website laughathorror.com.

BLED OUT

Authored by Glenn Oliver Parkhurst

Eighteen-year-old Kenny Arthur wishes he was just a typical small-town kid, but a near death experience and a message from the other side has made that impossible. Kenny knows there's a plague coming, and it's not natural. He knows it can crush the life out of this world.
And he knows he's the only one who can stop it.
What he doesn't know is how.
Kenny sets out to do what he must, but the world outside Friendship, NY is more than he bargained for. Before long, he's exhausted, dirty, broke, and not one step closer to accomplishing his goal. Then a pint of blood he sells for cash
causes a miraculous healing, and suddenly Kenny knows how he'll cure the plague. But if he wants to find the devil, he'll have to hide while he does it. The government, the sick, the desperate, the greedy all want a piece of what the press is calling "the Miracle Boy."
Kenny is on the hunt and on the run. His only friend is a thieving street kid named Rooster, who might help him get to where he's going, or sell him for a million dollars first.
Kenny can't trust, he can't stop, he can't rest - until those who hunt him drain him dry, or the devil is dead, whichever comes first.
