C. Michael Forsyth Launch Party and Book Signing May 7, 2011

Greenville author C. Michael Forsyth will be signing copies of his debut novel, Hour of the Beast (Outskirts Press, paperback, $18.95; and hardcover, $33.95), at his launch party at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, May 7th, from 4-6 pm. This party is open to the public, and we will be serving light refreshments.

The nightmare begins on a lonely country road when young bride Elaine Stern suffers a fate worse than death at the hands of a werewolf. Nine months later, the traumatized woman gives birth to a pair of fraternal twins. Jason is frail, bespectacled, and timid, while Joshua is aggressive, hairy, and uncannily strong. When the boys are in their teens, they arrive at Hallerton College, a mysterious place where weird things tend to happen even before they get there. The horror goes into overdrive when a string of grisly murders paralyzes the campus. As the body count mounts, Jason begins to suspect that his brother has inherited the curse of lycanthropy. He races to find a cure, enlisting the help of the wise, adventurous, and beautiful Professor Cairo Oldewood. Also along for the ride are Cameron, a gorgeous blond coed, and Dylan, Jason's roommate and a fearless, extreme-sports junkie who will do anything for a thrill, even face the full fury of a rampaging monster. Together, to save Joshua's soul, they must solve a centuries-old mystery before the full moon rises again, and before the hour of the beast is upon them.

C. Michael Forsyth is a graduate of Yale College and earned his Master's degree in film from New York University. A former senior writer for Weekly World News, his is also the author of numerous screenplays. He lives in Greenville, SC.
