Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Sure. 'Dracula' is a great start. It has a straightforward plot about a vampire preying on people, and the gothic elements are easy to follow. Another good one is 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's short and the concept of a split personality is both fascinating and a bit spooky. Also, 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs is a simple yet effective pulp horror story that shows how wishes can have terrifying consequences.

How did pulp horror novels influence modern horror literature?
1 answer
2024-10-30 06:23
Pulp horror novels have had a profound influence on modern horror literature. Firstly, they created a foundation of horror archetypes that modern writers can draw from or subvert. For instance, the idea of the cursed object from many pulp horror novels can be seen in modern works. Secondly, pulp horror was not afraid to be lurid and extreme in its descriptions of violence and the supernatural, and while modern horror may be more refined in some ways, it still owes a debt to that boldness. Moreover, pulp horror's ability to create a sense of dread and unease, as in 'The Shining', has been emulated and developed in contemporary horror writing.
