Juan Fuentes has a special gift. He can make objects appear out of nowhere, true pieces of matter created only with the fragments of his imagination, and on a stormy night during a history class at Brookhaven College, Juan makes the dead come alive. Ruthless nineteenth century murderers Mack “Mad” Maron and his three henchmen rise from their unmarked graves bloodthirsty, ripe for vengeance, and the night becomes one of survival for the students of Gossamer Hall—Lars, a criminal on the run. Reagan, a woman recovering from the suspicious death of her daughter. Lily, a beautiful girl with a dark secret. Josh and Caleb, two jocks on the rebound after a brush with drugs. Mark, a savvy whiz kid. As the night deepens into a hole of death, as the thunder and lightning rage war in the sky, it becomes clear there is only one way to stop the undead evil, and the secret lies within the dark rooms of Gossamer Hall…. |

"Gossamer
Hall is suspense filled horror. For Juan Fuentes
and the others within Gossamer Hall,
their night class is about to turn into a dark and deadly
lesson. Ms. Samiloglu creates a nightmarish combination of
greed and the darker side of paranormal for her characters,
and adds a bit of romance to soften the harshness of death.
This is a fast paced horror that has a number of surprises
along the way. The story ends with a bizarre twist that will
leave readers with even more to think about. "This
reads sort of like a slasher movie where many will die by choosing
a foolish path. Readers will be hooked by wanting know who survives
fighting the call of these two dead killers. There are plenty
of action scenes but the gore is limited as the classmates try
to outwit the homicidal deadly quartet. Fans get to know some
of students as their plight grows nightmarishly worse with little
hope to survive the reanimation ordeal. “Samiloglu’s
novel is a surprising and entertaining distraction, a guilty
pleasure, a comfort food.… I look forward to reading more
of the author’s works.”
