Bøger af Sandy DeLuca

A beautiful young painter falls in love with a dangerously sexy man who may be in league with the Devil ... who may even be a devil. So begins her DESCENT into a world of violence and horror, a world of rituals and madnessand unspeakable cruelty. Can she retain her soul despite the things he does to her, the things he forces her to witness ... the things he forces her to do? When you dance with the Devil, can you ever make it stop? "Sandy DeLuca's DESCENT is an intelligent, wonderfully written, highly original tale that lures the reader deep into a labyrinth of nightmare landscapes and horrors that haunt the body, mind, and ultimately the soul." Greg F. Gifune, author of GARDENS OF NIGHT and DREAMS THE RAGMAN "Who in the horror genre is writing for adults? The answer is Sandy DeLuca. The worlds she creates are steeped in darkness, but poetry echoes there (along with screams). Her work offers chills and pleasures that are no mere matter of gore but that satisfy in the way all real literature satisfies - in the way all true art satisfies - by challenging and touching us ... and ultimately by changing us." Robert Dunbar, author of WILLY and MARTYRS & MONSTERS

Beginning in the 1980's, with a series of offbeat pastel drawings, and through the current decade, the artist takes you on a strange...and sometimes entertaining...journey of imagination and color. Notes accompany the beginning of each section; short descriptions of her process and inspiration. This collection features over fifty full color images.

"With masterful pacing, Gifune and DeLuca create an atmosphere of nonstop suspense as they draw the reader into a world of obsession, occult worship, and madness. So much so that, long after the last page was turned, I couldn't stop thinking about The Still Place and its shattering conclusion." -Lucy Taylor, author of Desolation "Greg F. Gifune and Sandy DeLuca are two formidable writers in their own right. Together, they have crafted a vibrant, haunting novel that I drank in like a fine wine, and you will, too." - L.L. Soares, author of Teach Them How to Bleed and Something Blue and Other Colorful Deaths When Mina, a troubled and struggling young painter, is awarded an artist's residency offered by a small collective of eccentric artists in the mysterious coastal town of Crow's Cry, she's hopeful the opportunity will help get both her career and life back on track. Headed by the enigmatic, elderly, and internationally distinguished German artist Klaus Riker, a brilliant painter known for his unorthodox practice of combining art with spiritualism, the collective warmly welcomes Mina into their fold and provides her with every opportunity to take full advantage of the residency program. But in time Mina senses there may be something more going on in Crow's Cry than meets the eye. There is something strange and unsettling about the collective, about the dark old house on the cliffs where Klaus lives and hosts his community of artists, about the horrifying dreams Mina keeps having, and even something disturbing about the paintings Mina's working on herself. As she becomes increasingly isolated from the outside world and drawn deeper into the collective and their unusual practices, Mina begins to suspect that Klaus and the others may not be exactly what they seem. Could their motivations for selecting her be far darker and dangerous than she imagined, or is it only Mina's personal demons and paranoia at play? As she delves deeper into what may actually be going on, Mina creeps closer to the truth behind not only her own troubled soul, but the collective, their plans for her, and the unspeakable horror that awaits her in THE STILL PLACE.
