Tyler Christensen, best known to horror fans as the director and screenwriter of 2016’s House of Purgatory, recently released his debut novel, AS DEAD THINGS DO. Published by Off Limits Press, the novel immediately shot to #1 on Amazon’s New Releases in LGBTQ+ Horror Fiction list.

From the publisher’s synopsis:
“The land has been in the family for centuries, divided and passed down over generations.
Caleb knew when he agreed to move to his husband’s family plot in rural North Carolina that it would come with its headaches. What he never imagined, however, is that their efforts to rebuild a marriage torn apart by infidelity would soon take a back seat to the pale, skeletal thing that haunts the basement. The shadowy figure that moves about in the barn. The hateful blackness just below their feet.
It rots. It ruins. It fights to be remembered… As dead things do.”

If that tantalizing tidbit has you hungry for more terror, you can read an exclusive excerpt here.

A native of Wisconsin, Christensen currently lives in Los Angeles with his husband and their beloved rescue dog, Brom Bones.
