Editorial Reviews<\/h1>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605\u00a0“What an outstanding novel! Jasper knocked this out of the park. I’m typically not a true crime consumer (in literature, anyway), but I might dabble after this one. I think what kept me invested was how Jasper merged the paranormal aspects with the true crime. But what sold me was how he wove in the relationship between Kyra and her father. Not to mention his storytelling is so good, and his prose is immersive.”<\/em><\/span>\u2014Michael Stone, author of The Shimmering and Dark Dreamcatchers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605\u00a0“A twisty and unique true crime\/paranormal thriller that was thoroughly entertaining and never outstayed its welcome. It’s a lengthy and highly entertaining book that definitely deserves a lot of attention…”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Ian Gielen, author of Saving Tommy and part of the Books of Horror Community Anthology Vol. 4 part 1<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605“The Southern Gothic atmosphere coupled with the psychological intensity of the reveals and the strong thriller vibes, make this book the perfect read for anyone who enjoys moral complexity and emotional intelligence in a horror story, and doesn’t mind a bit of anxiety and gore on the way to love and hope.”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Milt Theo, Goodreads Reviewer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605“This book is so very unique. As an avid true crime fan, I really related to and enjoyed many themes in this novel. I felt the heartache, sadness, joy, and love from these characters. Each one is delicately handled. The author led me on a heart racing journey that was hard to put down! I felt like I stepped into this book, and it was very hard to leave it.”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Bree, BreeBooks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605\u00a0“Harmed and Dangerous is like a therapy session with a serial killer, uncomfortable, oddly enlightening, and you’ll definitely need a shower afterwards. Jasper Bark’s horror sticks with you. Mostly in your nightmares.”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Ginger Nuts of Horror<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Paranormal Thriller for readers of Stephen Graham Jones, Tananarive Due and Grady Hendrix<\/span><\/p>\n

Put yourself in Kyra\u2019s place.<\/p>\n

You’re seventeen years old, lost and alone in a remote town in Louisiana. You’re searching for the birth parents you never knew. The heat is crippling. The river often floods, washing houses away and lifting corpses from the ground.<\/p>\n

The locals treat you with suspicion. You don’t belong here. They’re hiding something. All over town, in nooks and hidden alcoves, there\u2019s evidence of a forbidden faith. They keep the\u00a0old ways<\/span>\u00a0here, but no one will tell you what they are.<\/p>\n

There’s an intangible presence following you. Hiding in your peripheral vision. You can’t see, hear or touch it, but you know it’s there, waiting for its chance to claim you.
\nThen the episodes start.<\/p>\n

Your vision goes and when it returns you’re seeing the world as it was fifteen years ago. Physically you’re in the present, but everything you see happened a decade and a half ago.
\nSuddenly you realize.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re seeing through the eyes of the serial killer who murdered your birth mother. He takes control of you, forcing you to watch as he stalks and brutally murders her.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s nothing you can do to stop him. Because he died by lethal injection more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n
