Story Behind The Book

Jared Helm is transported out-of-body to mystifying destinations. One evening, his imperceptible spirit embarks on a journey to an amazing castle bordering the ocean. Though the importance of the venture eludes him at first, he eventually learns that the castle is the stomping ground of a murderous sect abducting individuals for ritual sacrifice. An offshoot of the English and Irish Hellfire Clubs of old, the evil cult's castle is located on the seacoast of lower Maine. The group's fanatical Master, whose lineage reaches back to royalty and to rapscallion leaders of old, stops at nothing in his quest to please Satan. And although the previous clubs were known for wild and toxic behavior, this one takes those traits to malevolent heights. The story grows deeper and more sinister as the New England seasonal change enters the autumnal equinox on the approach to Samhain. "The Three Doors" sends readers on a paranormal rollercoaster of horror and thrills into the astral plane of existence that's invisible to most yet entered frequently by those who dare. But beware: it's not for immature minds, the thin-skinned, or the vulnerable. Though entirely original, it's a dash of A Christmas Carol, The Exorcist, The Wizard of Oz, and Eyes Wide Shut in places, supplemented by reflections of Aleister Crowley, Ozzy Osbourne, witchcraft, God and Satan, heaven and hell, and young love in a contemporary world.
