Dark Scribe Magazine Awards Black Quill To Book Trailer

Popular horror, thriller and suspense magazine Dark Scribe added a new category to the Black Quill Awards: Book Trailers.  Book trailers are a video synopsis of a book, or storyline preview.

Vince A. Liaguno, Editor-in-Chief of Dark Scribe Magazine says, “Recognizing that the professional writing fields that fall under the umbrella of dark genre literature needed a dedicated media voice, Dark Scribe Press proudly debuted Dark Scribe Magazine (www.DarkScribeMagazine.com ) as the premiere publication under its new small press banner in the Fall of 2007.

The focus of this non-fiction virtual magazine is to spotlight the creative forces behind dark genre literature - horror, suspense, and thrillers - and those committed to promoting it. The interactive virtual publication features in-depth author interviews, book reviews, guest columns, and a book trailer repository.

The Harrowing is a ghost story.  Sokoloff is a screen writer and the book plays out like a movie in your mind as you read it. The end gives the reader a bit of a surprised as the ghost turns out to be more  than what you think.  The book is published by St. Martin's Press and edited by Marc Resnick.
