My murder-mystery-thriller THE BLOODSTAINED DOLL has been featured on Bargain Booksy, CraveBooks and JustKindleBooks the past couple days to promote the 99 CENT ebook sale! If you're a fan of giallo black-gloved thrillers from the 70s, I hope you'll check it out: www.amazon.com/Bloodstained...

"The 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!" -- Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of the Joe Ledger thrillers

The latest homage to the Italian Giallo film genre by award-winning John Everson, with nods to the sensational movies of Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Luciano Ercoli, Mario Bava and more.

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.

A modern Giallo, building on Everson's previous homage to the stylish Italian mystery thrillers, Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds.

Farewell to the great Nora Orlandi, Italian film composer who bucked that country's boys club trend and wrote the music for some of my favourite Italian genre films in the 60s and 70s especially. This from her score to Sergio Martino's The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh (1971) is an all-time favourite
