"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

The Battle has Begun

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.

With their town under siege and all evacuation routes blocked, Sheriff Primrose is quickly running out of options. Falling back on his military training, he enlists the help of first-responders and retired officers, forming an armed posse. Their goal: round up as many survivors as possible before night falls, and then barricade themselves somewhere safe until dawn.

Despite being sidelined by the adults, Troy, Wendy, and Janis have made their own startling discovery, one that may help turn the tide in the impending confrontation – but only if they can convince their parents to listen.

But timeless malevolence is not so easily conquered. High up on the mountain, hidden in the depths of Mountainside Asylum, the dark entity has a plan of its own, something the Grove’s residents will never see coming.

Beginning where Ashes to Ashes left off, All Fall Down amps up the action level to eleven in a cataclysmic fight for survival.

“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

"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
