This is the first of the three small horror novels I wrote for my fifth grade classes. The story has to do with amazing creatures who move through walls, floors, ceilings - and solid matter - to feast. Shawna O'Conner discovers them in her bedroom and they follow her to school. As the story unfolds we discover that the creatures are escaping from a mysterious business that is new in town where Shawna's mother works -- although Shawna is initially unaware of this.Intense action and diabolical creatures that are amazingly nasty.Enjoy.

What scares you? Not something that causes minor discomfort, like an appointment at the dentist. No, I mean fear. The fear that freezes you in place unable to catch your breath. The fear that so paralyzes you that you are unable to move or even scream. What is it? Fingers closing around your neck while you sleep and steadily increasing the pressure until you gasp helplessly for air? Tentacles rising from blackened water to seek and drag you down? What is it? What scares you?____________________________________________________________My fifth grade class, several years ago, knew that I was an author (Challenge and Silent Screams of a Survivor - available at Amazon) and teased me every day for nearly three months to, "Write them something scary." This is the origin of the FEAR Series. There are three books in the series: The Night of the Creatures, The Haunting, and The Button Box. All have been written for an audience of people from grade 4 and up. (Nothing here that an adult would not find interesting) This story tells of a young girl who finds a special pin - a talisman - in her Great Grandmother's button box stored in the basement. The story tells of her learning of both the special powers of the talisman and her own mind. A lot of fun to read and scary. ________________________________________________________________Gentle Reader: You hold in your hands one of life's sweetest treats --finely-crafted terror. The horror story has a long and illustrious history; apparently we've always enjoyed being scared. I'll leave it to students of the mind to speculate why -- as a long-time admirer of the genre, I prefer to simply dive in and enjoy the experience. I invite you to join me; seldom does one encounter fear so delicious as that created by Bob Hoffman. So, dim all but your reading lamp, curl up in a comfy chair, and come along for a wonderful, suspense-filled ride. You won't be disappointed. And if it gets a little TOO scary, just keep telling yourself: “It's only a story, it's only a story . . . .” Isn't it? Linda Buthmann

Titan is bound by his honor to uphold his father’s laws, even when logic would demand otherwise. Laws that keep the West from retaliating when attacked by enemy kingdoms, that keep Titan from being with the woman he loves, and that ultimately keep his father from being armed while in negotiations with the mad-man known as Devvon. But when Devvon murders all neighboring kings, Titan must learn to survive in a world where religion and magic interweave, where the laws of kingdoms and physics are little more than suggestions, and where Titan, his sardonic boyhood friend, and the woman he is fated to be without must choose to either take up dangerously seductive powers or let the kingdoms fall back into an age of terror.
