Award-Winning Celebrity Chef Launches his Second Horror Novel
David Ruggerio’s “A Prison Without Locks” Promises Horror Fiction Fans Many Sleepless Night
For Immediate Release
Los Angeles, California — Award-winning author and celebrity chef David Ruggerio releases his new novel, “A Prison Without Locks,” this November 25, 2020. His second foray into horror genre takes the genre fans of all ages onto a rollercoaster of bone-chilling events in which they will recognize their deepest fears. Ruggerio promises his fans many a sleepless night.
“A Prison Without Locks” is set in a seemingly idyllic town that rests at the foot of the Catskills Mountains (of Sleepy Hollow fame) surrounded by Witch’s Hole State Forest. Something is happening to its residents, and strange, sinister occurrences have people on edge.
In the night, the dead are reborn under the watchful eye of the mysterious Doctor Roger Pretorius and his equally disturbing “rescued dwarf” and sidekick, Henry Howard Holmes. Pretorius lives in the old and presumably haunted mansion with a foreboding epithet proclaiming it as “a prison without locks.” Pretorius’s dark past reaches the town and endangers everyone. On the cusp of Halloween, a brutal winter storm ushers in these new dangers, threatening to trap the town’s residents. In an ultimate showdown, Father Shea Calhoun and Sister Beatrice work together with others to face the rising evil and try to stop it.
“A Prison Without Locks” is a captivating and scary read with an easy to follow plot filled with vivid and cinematic moments. Ruggerio excels at creating a spooky ambiance, characters and interesting malevolent creatures subject to macabre and demonic possession to illustrate the perpetual battle between good and evil.
According to US Review of Books, “Any horror novel fan will appreciate Ruggerio’s endeavor with this newest entry in the genre.”
“A Prison Without Locks” is available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
