Here's a sample:
The doorbell rings.
My first thought is that something in the Manor has woken up, but the house’s internal alarm is a lot more “chorus of throaty screams” than “rumbling bell sound.”
“Get the door!” Wrath shouts.
I climb out from underneath my comforter and storm for the front of the house.
“I ordered a bagel guillotine,” Wrath continues. For a non-corporeal personification of human malice and aggression, the demon loves kitchen appliances.
We have a specific knife for cutting watermelon that has a sheathe with little peekaboo black seeds that appear, and a watermelon-red blade when it’s pulled free. There’s also the apple corer that looks like a gun, and an egg cuber. Why anyone would want to cube their eggs is beyond me, but Wrath loves it. He’s the only person I know that watches cable just for the infomercials.
Unfortunately, my shopping addict roommate can’t exactly answer the front door. Delivery people hate when doors open by themselves and disembodied presences politely take packages out of their hands. The Dread-Ex delivery guy stopped coming to the door entirely. He gets as far as the porch steps before his courage runs out and he darts back to the vehicle. All because a particularly eager Wrath wanted his scoop-able spatula the minute it arrived.
I throw the door open, expecting a delivery guy day-drinking to build his courage but it’s not a brown uniform that greets me.
Instead, it’s the guy from across the street. Now that I see him up close, I realize my initial instincts that he’s attractive really undersold the truth. He’s Asian, just a little taller than me, and has the kind of arrogant expression I would normally expect out of royalty. His dark black hair is slicked back and he’s still dressed in a white tee shirt and sinfully tight dark blue jeans. Only now I can see that both the shirt and the jeans are expertly tailored to his form and look expensive. Not something that one orders off the internet, or from the clothing store down in Hollow Hills. His arm is raised to knock again, revealing a strong bicep as pale as the rest of his skin, and long fingers made for playing instruments, or based on his expression, garroting someone to death.
“But how am I supposed to slice my bagels now?” I ask sadly.

Theo King grew up with an imaginary friend named Wrath in the one of the most haunted houses in the county. Morecroft Manor is many things: old, intimidating, bigger on the inside, alive. In just a short amount of time, Theo discovers a new boy has moved in across the street, his parents escaped from a cult they used to lead, and there's an apocalypse chiming away in his basement.
And that's just book 1!
