The Whistlebrass Horror

Casey didn’t believe in monsters until they stole his sister.

Shortly after teenage newcomer Casey Wilde arrives in the haunted town of Whistlebrass, Vermont, his little sister disappears. Finding her won’t be easy–Casey is up against a suave sociopath, a legion of living shadows, and a reptilian humanoid capable of stealing his life force and crushing him into dust.

Who can Casey ask for help when no sane adult will believe his story?

Jack Keely is the co-author and illustrator of "The Whistlebrass Horror" and "The Whistlebrass Storm Watcher". He and Briar Lee Mitchell are currently at work on the third book in the series. The books are aimed at young teens, but adult readers also enjoy the slightly tongue-in-cheek Whistlebrass blend of horror and humor.

Jack Keely received his bachelor's degree in illustration at Rhode Island School of Design, and obtained his master's degree at Cranbrook Academy of Art. 

He co-authored "The Outer Space Place" and "The Dinosaur Store" with Sylvia Branzei. He also illustrated many of Sylvia's books including the best-selling "Grossology" series. In addition, Jack has illustrated many other books by different authors.

 

Briar Lee Mitchell co-authored The Whistlebrass Horror with Jack Keely. She is the author of the popular novels, Big Ass Shark and Dark Lights. She has travelled with the U.S. Air Force creating images for the National Archives. Briar’s stay at McMurdo Base in the Antarctic inspired her series Walking on Mars. She has worked for such clients as Warner Brothers and Disney, and her work has been exhibited at The Smithsonian Institution.
