My 15th novel, The Bloodstained Doll, has been released today from Flame Tree Press! If you like mystery, thrillers and horror, I hope you’ll check this one out!
Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger thrillers read the book before its release and wrote this awesome blurb about it:
“Bloodstained Doll is a twisted tale of murder and paranoia that really amps up the tension! John Everson perfectly captures the twists and shocking violence of the giallo era of potboilers! Lots of dangerous fun!”
The Bloodstained Doll is my second homage to the classic Italian giallo horror murder mystery films of the ‘70s and is available available to order now on:
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bloodstained-Doll…/dp/1787588874/

Here’s the book description:
When Allyson’s mom dies unexpectedly, she thinks her world has hit rock bottom. But that’s before she goes to live with her estranged Uncle Otto in Germany. When a child’s empty casket is unearthed in the backyard during a violent storm, suddenly people close to her uncle start turning up dead. Is there a connection? As the noose tightens and murders draw closer to Berger Mansion, Allyson and her new boyfriend Andrew discover a dark truth hidden in the attic. Soon their lives are at stake if they don’t discover why each broken body is decorated with a Bloodstained Doll.
Author Gerard Houarner, author of Painfreak and Road From Hell called The Bloodstained Doll “un-put-down-able” and said: “Allyson’s ‘situation’ veers more toward the Gothic than the colorful, but the story remains chockfull of mystery, violence, sex (of a kind), betrayal, and other dire consequences. Just like real life, only without the lawsuits. Don’t miss the ride, you’ll be in masterful hands – and don’t forget, along with that Gothic vibe, there’s going to be a LOT of color to go around.”
There’s also already a 5-star review on GoodReads from a reviewer who got an early copy that says: “I hope Mr. Everson puts out more books like this. He has a wonderful recipe on his hands: two parts mystery, two parts tension, a dash for blood and a dash of sex, and you have a pert near-perfect book!” Read the full review here:
