Ezra Kilgore and the Slowcooker of Destiny
Book 1 of 2 — Ezra Kilgore and the Ghost Rippers of Silicon Valley
Now with full color illustrations! Nestled deep in the heart of Silicon Valley, the sleepy town of Shadowlocke Hollow stirs. The 1980s are in full swing, and supernatural forces have inexplicably converged here for reasons unclear to even the most astute observer.
Orphaned in one deadly stroke of misfortune, Ezra Kilgore arrives in Shadowlocke with nothing more than eighty-five dollars in his pocket and a singular desire to retrace the steps his late father once took. The mystery of his parents' brutal murders is intertwined with the past, present, and future of Shadowlocke, and Ezra is determined to unravel the enigma—come hell or high water.
Not long after arriving, Ezra stumbles upon the Repository, aka “The Repo”—billed as the largest movie rental and video game store on the West Coast—and its laid-back, charismatic proprietor, Lance Steele. Overcome with a mix of pity and pragmatism, Lance grants Ezra the use of an abandoned cargo truck buried deep in the back of The Repo, hidden among years' worth of collected junk. The truck quickly becomes Ezra's home and the headquarters of The Ghost Rippers of Silicon Valley.
Determined to uncover the truth behind the town's eerie disturbances, Ezra founds the Ghost Rippers as a paranormal extermination service. Named after a fabled Victorian-era do-it-yourself exorcism contraption, the Ghost Rippers consist of Ezra and his only two friends in the world—Quinn Huang and Zebulon “Zeb” Duarte.
Ezra Kilgore and the Blood Moon of Shadowlocke
Book 2 of 2 — Ezra Kilgore and the Ghost Rippers of Silicon Valley
Summer in Shadowlocke Hollow was supposed to be a carefree time of bike rides, video games, and endless hours of play in that blissful stillness just before twilight. That is, until the moon turned red, the skies filled with unspeakable horrors, and children went missing.
Ezra Kilgore and his friends—Quinn and Zebulon—are the Ghost Rippers of Silicon Valley, the only force that stands between clarity and the horrific fate that threatens to befall the citizens of the small California town. Staying alive by the skin of their teeth, the Ghost Rippers leverage the powers of primeval forces married to modern shade-tree backyard engineering to uncover a two thousand year old secret and peel back another layer surrounding the mysterious deaths of Ezra's parents.
Set in the heart of the roaring 1980s, the second installment of the Ghost Rippers of Silicon Valley is sure to awaken your nostalgic inner child and pull you to the edge of your seat!
