Thriller Fiction
In the House of Leviathan
A fishing village nestled in Italian cliffs, peopled by simple folk with religion and superstition. A blind, deaf man is seen summoning the devil and chaos ensues. An old paper mill, an undelivered letter, gruesome deaths, haunting spirits and a damaged soldier’s vow to keep his younger sister safe, In the House of Leviathan is a trip back in time, filled with terror, uncertainty and pain.

“A juicy collection of stories, with some great character development and a lot of original ideas. Recommended!”

“I found this book to be an extreme delight. Bruns builds each piece with a subtle tension rather than in your face horror. But do not misunderstand that statement: the horror is there and very real.”
—Horror Novel Reviews
“The horror creeps slowly under your skin until you suddenly realize you’re in the midst of madness. This collection consists of four unique stories. Bruns handles plot, setting, and characterization exceptionally well in all four.”
