    About this ebook

    Her treasured fellow soldiers are dead. Murdered.

     

    Beyond exhaustion, she collapses unconscious.

     

    When she awakes, the world is like nothing she's ever seen.

    Dagon Twisted is a psychological horror suspense short story, inspired by the 1917 short story Dagon written by H. P. Lovecraft. My horror stories explore the frailty of the human psyche - how tenuous our grasp on reality can be. They delve into how alone each of us really is, as we navigate the short, brief flicker of life we are granted. My stories focus on the psychological aspects of fear and do not contain overt gore. They are suitable for teens and up.

    I support battered women's shelters.

    Lisa Shea

    I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.For a full listing of my books please visit:http://www.lisashea.com/lisabase/writing/gettingyourbookpublished/lisalibrary.html

      In the winding-down days of the War in Afghanistan, my unit was given a short R&R after a particularly heinous action which had caused more than its fair share of casualties. In my rare off time I’d researched travelling on a tramp steamer, a vision which had originally been my elderly grandfather’s, one he had rambled about often in his final days. I was his only grandchild, and he had insisted on his deathbed that,
