"
The Ojanox is Phenomenal! There's a new voice in horror, and his name is Daemon Manx. ~ Felissa Rose, Actress/Producer/Scream Queen - Sleepaway Camp

The Dramatic Series Conclusion – Lonesome Mountains finds a rag-tag group of survivors pitted against an unstoppable evil.
The year is 1979. A small New York town prepares to welcome the fall season in all the expected ways: young children bicker and boast over Halloween costumes, secret lovers meet in clandestine corners, and a tortured soul plots wicked deeds. All the while, hidden just out of view, patient and hungry... an ancient evil lurks.

Welcome to Garrett Grove, an unassuming community nestled within the foothills of the Watchung Mountains. The very definition of "Everytown, USA", it is a largely self-contained municipality, most of the residents on a first-name basis. An almost postcard-perfect location.

The sun is up but the future looks bleak for the last survivors in town. An army of evil sleeps by day, waiting for nightfall to make their final attack. Sheriff Carl Primrose must make an impossible choice: run and hide or take the fight to the enemy's door. Outnumbered, outwitted, and outmatched, they are running out of options.

Cut off from the rest of the world, Carl and his team are forced to make their final stand. But at what cost?

"The Ojanox harkens back to the horror boom of the '70s and '80s, in a very good way. Manx has a knack for creating characters you'll love (or hate) and putting them through the ringer. His dialogue is sharp and storytelling gripping and fast paced. Now that I'm hooked, I need to read the rest!" – Duncan Ralston, Author of Woom and Ghostland

"In The Ojanox, Daemon Manx creates a community and cast of characters you feel like you know personally, like you’ve known them all your life. And when you lose one of those characters, you’ve lost one of your own. Manx makes you care and makes you hurt. The Ojanox is a masterclass on characterization." ~ Patrick C. Harrison III, Author of 100% Match and Grandpappy

“Written with beautifully descriptive scenes,
The Ojanox places you directly into the quaint, small town of Garrett Grove during the Halloween season where everything is pleasant…until it isn’t. An ancient, dark entity is accidently excavated and escapes into the world with chilling results. The Ojanox is a fresh, original, plot-driven page turner that I couldn’t put down. I highly recommend it and am looking forward to Part Two of this excellent series.” – Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine
