Highway to Hell: A New Concept of Horror and the Hell That Resides Within
Portland, OR, January 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Author Alex Laybourne grew up in a small English coastal town, and started writing stories as soon as he was old enough to hold a pen. Having to take the bus to school every day, he spent a lot of time dreaming up stories and characters, observing those around him with an author’s eye.
A love for Horror fiction developed at an early age, and he was soon devouring everything from Poe and Lovecraft to King and Barker. It was within these pages that he found his home, the place he longed to visit during every waking moment.
Attracted to the lavish landscapes and poetic flow of Barker’s prose and the complex interwoven characters and worlds of King, it was these two modern age authors that shaped an early writing style which still influences his work today.
Highway to Hell is a horror novel that utilizes the traditional Catholic vision of Hell and takes a much more everyday look at sin, and the things which, in theory, would see us cast into the pit.
The first in a trilogy of novels, this first part introduces us to six central characters that must die in order for their story to be told. Plucked from the bowels of Hell by angels, forced to outrun and outsmart demons, they are brought face to face with their past, their fears, and learn that the lines between good and evil are not always clearly set, and that sometimes, the people you need to trust, come from unlikely backgrounds.
Highway to Hell is Alex Laybourne’s first novel which is now available on Amazon (and via numerous other online sources) in both eBook and paperback formats. With 2 more novels under contract and scheduled for release in 2013, together with a number of short story collections scheduled for release around August 2013, the horror fiction market is about to be shaken up in a way that hasn’t happened since the Books of Blood first hit the shelves. Laybourne shies away from the current trends of excessive gore and mindless violence, and instead aims to revive the genre through good story telling, strong plots, and believable characters.
Highway to Hell is available now at Amazon.com and via all major eBook distribution sites.
