But even if he does, will anyone believe him? And can he even trust himself?Reviews“First-class storyteller Staci Layne Wilson has a style that is all her own: from her wicked tongue-and-cheek insider play on words and names to the heart she puts into the tale. She evokes the reader's compassion for her mild-mannered main character—from being publicly dissected by a talk show host, to his mounting terror at the long string of grisly murders that keep mysteriously finding their way to him. It’s got an ending so tightly twisted that it fits perfectly!” -- TM Gray, Dark Wisdom Magazine“Staci Layne Wilson will have you sitting on the edge of your seat while you read how she tells the tale of The Tragedy Man. You will be turning page after page right up until the end. You are taken on this journey of a non-stop ride with plenty of twists and turns. It will amaze you how believable this story is! The description of her characters are so real, they’re almost too real! You haven’t read a good horror story until you’ve read The Tragedy Man. It is one you will not forget for a very long time.” – Kimberly Leslie, The R Studio“Wilson has written a very engaging novel of suspense and horror. Her writing style flows, and the book is very easy to read. It starts strong and ends even stronger. It is a beautiful story in the style of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Cary is an excellent protagonist. Following him through the story allows us to follow ourselves--who doesn’t want to be a writer, after all?--and question our own motives and thoughts about the people in our lives.” – Jeremy Hoover, Blue Iris ReviewsTake a look inside the book now or listen to an audio sample!Blurbs Like some bizarre ménage à trois between Stephen King, Candace Bushnell, and Sarah Silverman, Wilson's fiction explores every aspect of the Forbidden.
