Starvation Heights

Inspired by real-life events at Starvation Heights.
 
Hell hath no fury like a reality TV crew stalked... by a cult!

Two sisters fall victim to the twisted owners of the notorious Wilderness Sanitarium, known to locals as Starvation Heights, who torture them within its walls in 1903.

Present Day: A reality show delves into the chilling legend of Starvation Heights, but the hauntings they encounter are dead serious as the crew dies one by one.

The Twist: The ghosts aren't malevolent, they're desperate. A hidden evil, a cult fueled by a gateway to hell, is hunting for victims to create a bride for Satan – generation after generation – for one monstrous purpose.
Can the living and the dead form an unholy alliance to stop the apocalypse?

This chilling blend of an actual place in historical horror and reality TV terror will leave you questioning who you can trust... and what lies beneath the veil.

Writer Biography - Jennifer A Conner

Jennifer Conner is a best-selling Northwest author who has eighty short stories, novellas and full length novels in print, ebook, audiobook, and screenplays. She writes in Horror, Romance, Paranormal, and Historical Romance. She has hit Amazon's top fifty authors ranking and her books have been #1 in sales. Starvation Heights was a finalist in the Austin After Dark and chosen to be a part of The Oregon Scream Fest. Her novel Shot in the Dark was a finalist in the Emerald City Opener, Cleveland, and Toronto writing contests. 
Jennifer is an Associate Publisher for the indie traditional publisher, Books to Go Now who resides in the Seattle area. They pride themselves in helping new authors get their foot in the door with well-edited manuscripts, professional covers, and platforms uploads. 
She lives in a hundred year old house that she grew up in. Her semi-small town holds an interesting mix of resident hillbillies, yuppies and Navy Seals. And of course Seattle, only a few miles away, is the birthplace of Starbucks so coffee is always on the check list. She blows glass beads with a blow torch, (which relieves a lot of stress and people don't bother you).

Writer Statement

I hope my writing legacy will be that I have brought enjoyment to someone's day. I have worked hard to become the best writer I can be and now have put the same energy into scriptwriting. I became a writer to get all the stories bouncing around my head out on the page.
