IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

M. R. Sellars’ Latest Novel Begins New Series Featuring Recurring RGI Character FBI Special Agent Constance Mandalay

November 2011 will see the release of  author, M. R. Sellars’, thirteenth supernatural thriller and the first full-length  spin-off from the Rowan Gant Investigations series of novels.

The story features FBI Special Agent Constance Mandalay, a recurring character from the RGI books and is based upon the hit novella, Merrie Axemas, which was penned by Sellars and released solely as an e-book during the 2010 Christmas season.

In The Bleak Midwinter explores the 35 year old case that has come back to haunt a small town in Northern Missouri in much more depth, with back story, twists, and surprises not contained in the original short novella.

FOR THE PEOPLE OF HULIS, MISSOURI, THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE HELL…

On December 22^nd, 1975, something unthinkable happened in the small, northern Midwest town of Hulis, Missouri—something so heinous that it turned the holidays into a waking nightmare.

Now, 35 years later, it’s happening all over again, and for those involved, Christmas will never be the same…

In The Bleak Midwinter marks the first full-length novel spin-off from the Rowan Gant Investigations series. Featuring FBI Special Agent Constance Mandalay, a recurring character from the RGI books, In The Bleak Midwinter explores a 35 year old case that has come back to haunt a small town in Northern Missouri.

J. T. Ellison, author of the best selling Taylor Jackson Novels says:

“M.R. Sellars has crafted a superbly creepy supernatural thriller that sucks you in from the very first line and doesn’t let you go until long after you close the covers. IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER reads like oldschool M. Night Shyamalan with a dash of a John Connolly police procedural. Good stuff!”

The Horror Fiction Review Says:

“IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER is a well written mystery with a paranormal slant. The gruesome murders and child-abuse back story will keep the attention of any fan of dark fiction. It’s difficult to put down and will make a satisfying, spooky read on a cold night this coming holiday season.”

View the official teaser video:

In The Bleak Midwinter: A Special Agent Constance Mandalay Novel will be available in Trade Paperback and E-Book format in November from bookstores nationwide and online.
