Ghosts, Ghouls, Myths & Monsters: The Most Haunted Town in America (Book 1)

By John Boston

The question is not whether monsters walk among us. They do. They have. For thousands of years. On the borders of humdrummia and every day reality, be it the forest’s edge or a moonlit graveyard draped in gossamer spiders’ webs, the macabre is all about. For our souls, our sanity, the vital question to answer is: Just WHERE are all these blankety-blank monsters?

Santa Clarita is a riparian bedroom community, an hour’s drive north of Los Angeles. It’s been home to giant, man-eating grizzly bears, ghosts, serial killers, devil cults, more ghosts, Bigfoot, werewolf encounters, UFO sightings, vampires, cannibals — documented pterodactyl attacks! — and, did we mention ghosts — a veritable invasion of them?

Salem, Massachusetts. New Orleans. The entire state of Wisconsin. There are many pretenders to the throne for The Most Haunted Place in America. Read for yourself, in this first of a three-volume set, bestselling author John Boston detail, with strokes of humor, terror and plain Can’t-Put-It-Down story-telling, why this seemingly innocent bedroom community of Santa Clarita rates as the USA’s top — TOP — hotspot of paranormal activity.

Will Fleet, former president of the California Newspaper Publishers’ Association and former LA Times publisher once wrote of Boston: “Of all the writers I’ve known in my 35 years in the newspaper business, John Boston is the best. By far.” Join thousands of loyal readers who have discovered the rapier wit, tear-bringing style and enlightening prose of one the country’s top newspaper columnist. Through headlines and history books, Boston has created a madcap and unique romp through the sometimes strange and spectral, but the always supernatural.

Adam Henry

By John Boston

(PUBLISHER'S NOTE: ADAM HENRY was the original title of THE MELANCHOLY SAMURAI. We made some upgrades and reverted MelSam to the original ADAM HENRY title. Great book. Perhaps you should read it?)

A story is only as strong as its villain or villainous force. Terrorists, perverts, serial killers, bullies? Adam Henry has every single one of them.

Adam Henry is the polite police euphemism for “A$$hole.” An A.H. can be a wife beater, drug dealer or the booger-eating tech moron who steals your credit card info. Our nameless hero? He’s a world-famous cable newscaster who has trouble deciding on take-out, let alone making really tough choices. Yet, he must.

Earth has been visited by many mass extinctions. The next one is attitude-oriented. All the hero wants in life is to court Riley, his brute neighbor’s wife and the hero’s soulmate. He has no interest in being That One Person who can accurately look into people’s hearts and see — who is the murderer, rapist, human trafficker — or worse.

Soon, the hero must choose: who is an Adam Henry; who will stay and who will go? Worst? He must also become their bloody executioner.

Adam Henry is an international psychological thriller, but, it’s not about saving the Super Bowl or Vatican, the Eifel Tower or some braindead head of state. Adam Henry is about the heart-breaking, everyday consequences of what happens when we don’t summon the courage to make a difficult decision.

A fan once noted: “John Boston can make you laugh out loud and cry — sometimes within the same paragraph.” Another reader wrote: “Put George Orwell, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut and Mark Twain in a blender. Add humor and you’ve got a John Boston novel.” From jets flying over San Francisco to visiting ancient crypts in Ethiopia, Adam Henry is a page-turner. Boston is a sorcerer, inventing new worlds in your own, familiar psychic backyard, casting spells with effortless dialogue, seducing you into thinking and after breaking your heart, creates hope inside dystopia.

Forget genres. Boston is his own genre. Thousands of readers adored his 5-star underground modern cult classic, “Naked Came the Sasquatch.” Read the reviews. His romance and relationship observations melt souls. Two fans, continents apart, confessed that his suspense writing was so engrossing, they literally stayed up all night to finish the book and MISSED WORK the next day. He’s been named both Best Serious & Best Humorous columnist in America — several times and earned the prestigious Will Rogers Lifetime Achievement Award. Penning more than 11,000 columns, blogs and essays, and even tens of thousands more stories, John Boston is literally the most prolific humorist/satirist in the history of the world.

It’s time for you to discover him. Read Adam Henry. Go ahead. Try putting it down…
