Smoke

The Queen of Horror is back with her classics being released on Amazon for a new generation to enjoy! — "This book is recommended for those looking to explore the better publications in the Zebra Horror line and fans of the little old lady that weaves a good horror filled tale." — "Like so many other of Ruby Jean's books - Pendulum, Chain Letter, Jump Rope, and so on - we feel for the young girl and her helplessness in trying to regain control over life and death matters." — “Jensen once again has produced another quietly chilling tale of the supernatural in this shocker." — "Like some of her other books that I have read, Ruby Jean creates an interesting story and characters that I can care about.” — "It's creepy, and it's kinda of like a mystery, yet it's scary. It just amazes me how Ruby can take ordinary objects like say, a jump rope, and make it scary somehow." A pioneer of the genre, Ruby Jean Jensen is a name that revives fond memories in her fans, and excitement that her books are once again available. Ruby Jean has been recognized as a trailblazer for women authors in horror. New fans will be fascinated to explore her 30 novels! SMOKE explores the dark forces that are contained in an old, Oriental lamp. Like all of Ruby Jean’s works, SMOKE will be highly appreciated by both young and older adults. Originally published in 1988, SMOKE follows young Ellen, who found the interesting old lamp at a garage sale and started calling it her “Aladdin’s Lamp”. Shortly after bringing the lamp home, strange things began to happen. It seemed that violence had suddenly become a part of their lives. Trouble seemed to follow even after moving to a different town, and after each incident there was a strange smell of smoke in the air.
