McFALL
International bestselling author Scott Nicholson
returns to his supernatural roots in the new serialized novel McFALL, launching
Sept. 3, with new episodes releasing every six weeks.
The supernatural thriller, from Amazon’s 47North
imprint, features characters from THE RED CHURCH, a Stoker Award finalist and
alternate selection of the Mystery Guild Book Club, and DRUMMER BOY, a ghostly
coming-of-age tale. The stories are set in the rural Southern Appalachian
Mountains where Nicholson lives and are inspired by actual local legends.
“I enjoyed working with Amazon’s Thomas & Mercer
imprint for my Fear series, and I had been mulling a return to the world of my
first novel,” Nicholson said. “When 47North offered the opportunity to write a
serial, I jumped at it. I am always eager to experiment, and Amazon is proving
progressive in its digital publishing approach. I’ll still be writing McFALL as
it goes live so it’s a bit like walking out on a tightrope in flaming underpants
over a canyon full of cobras. Or perhaps it’s just another day in cyberspace.”
Although it’s exclusive to Amazon, McFALL will be published in paperback and audiobook later this year.. New episodes are automatically emailed
to the Kindles of those who order the first episode. Learn more about the project

McFALL
"If Evil had fortified secret strongholds across the globe,
the red church was certainly one of them."
When wealthy developer Larkin McFall moves to the small
Appalachian Mountain community of Barkersville, generations-old tales of
supernatural phenomena, sudden deaths, and odd disappearances resurface. Larkin
laughs off the stories as superstition, while promising to bring a bright new
future to the dying town.
Sheriff Frank Littlefield senses a diabolical motive in McFall’s good
intentions. High school friends Bobby Eldreth and Ronnie Day also suspect that
an evil menace has invaded Barkersville, but both soon fall under McFall’s
spell. Has the sinister presence that once infiltrated the abandoned—perhaps
haunted—red church spread to the community as McFall turns the family property
into a luxurious subdivision?
When those who oppose Larkin McFall’s ambitions begin to die
horrifically—or even worse, become the man’s biggest supporters—Sheriff
Littlefield’s investigation uncovers a man with no past and no fingerprints.
A man who destroys people by giving them exactly what they want.
