Make sure you pick up the next book in the series, RED FOX: Navajo Shapeshifters, dubi­ous desert folk, and sex­ual ten­sion that one reviewer described as “BANANAS!”

Need some con­vinc­ing? Here are just of the some recent book reviews of Darkhouse:

“Dark­house turned out unlike any­thing I’d expected. It drew me in from page one, with its easy-to-relate to, flawed but love­able char­ac­ters, its fast pace, the unpre­dictable plot twists and its eerie, sur­real atmos­phere. If you’re search­ing for the scari­est book of this sea­son, then search no more. Dark­house is exactly what you’re look­ing for” — I Heart Reading

“Dark­house by Karina Halle has to be the first book in many years to make me glad to be read­ing dur­ing the day. It was creepy, excit­ing, hilar­i­ous and down right one of the most enter­tain­ing books that made me want to hug my pil­low ” — See­ing Night Reviews

“A creepy light­house on the Ore­gon coast­line was the per­fect set­ting for this story.  Karina Halle left no detail behind and I felt as though I could feel the ocean spray and smell the musty rooms as she led me deeper into the scene” — Fade Into Fantasy

“Dark­house, when you read the syn­op­sis, seems like a typ­i­cal thriller. But it is so much more. It is creepy, funny (believe it or not), very sus­pense­ful and yes, thrilling. While much of the book is about Perry, her new part­ner Dex, and their haunted encoun­ters at the light­house, Dark­house is just as much about the per­plex­ing rela­tion­ship between the trou­bled duo” — Book­ish Babes

“Enter Perry Palomino’s world and expect to be riv­eted to your seat with the creepy story with para­nor­mal over­tures. This book was a mes­mer­iz­ing read” — Earth’s Book Nook

All of that for just 0.99? You can’t beat it

It’s the strange time of the year for me where I don’t know what to do with myself. On August 17th, at 2AM, I fin­ished writ­ing Book #4, LYING SEASON. I was a bit of a wreck about it. This book really had me con­nect­ing to the char­ac­ters, way more than nor­mal. Like a crazy amount. And I was feel­ing every thing they were. It’s been a topsy-turvy emo­tional roller­coaster for me…and of course for Perry and Dex.

It’s the longest book by far, and is fully-loaded with extra top­pings. Lots of answers, lots more ques­tions. The char­ac­ter growth took me by sur­prise and most of the book wrote itself, which was a won­der­ful ride for me as an author. It’s by far my favorite book and the one I am most proud of (not that I’m not proud of all of them). But it’s really spe­cial to me.  And the ending…well, let’s just say a very strong part of me is beg­ging me to con­tinue right onto Book Five.

I do feel I deserve a bit of a break…some days on Lying Sea­son I was pulling 12 hours (note to self: writ­ing for 12 hours straight will SERIOUSLY MESS YOU UP). And I have a whole stack of books to read, that I want to read:

–I just fin­ished City of Bones. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

–Fin­ish the last half of the last Dark Tower Book (reluc­tant to, since I’ll miss Roland and his ka-tet when it’s over)

Then its Clash of Kings, Diver­gent, Across the Uni­verse, Star­crossed, Ysabel, Horns, The Iron King, Harry Pot­ter #1 and Hunger Games…though who knows what order I’m doing this in!

Any­way, so that’s all the read­ing I have to do (well, WANT to do). But some­thing tells me the pull to start on Book #5 might be too great. Who knows.

The afore­men­tioned Lying Sea­son will be released on Novem­ber 13th, 2011 (one month after Dead Sky Morn­ing is released).

The book won’t be released until Octo­ber 13th, but for the next month I’m run­ning a give­away through GoodReads for five signed copies of the book. If you win, you get DSM a whole month ahead of every­one else…and for free! I actu­ally just won a book myself the other day (excit­ing!) so it’s proof that peo­ple do win things

Aside from the GoodReads, I’ll be hav­ing a give­away for my Face­book fans, which involves your choice of a Team Dex or Team Perry (ide­ally you’d want both) shirt and all three books. I’ll keep you posted for when that runs.

Two give­aways going on at GoodReads for Dark­house (TEN COPIES!) and Red Fox (the lat­ter ends on August 12th and the for­mer on the 13th) so get cracking.

I’ll also be doing a give­away through my Face­book Fan Page for Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror (check side­bar—> become a fan!) and this is going to be mas­sive. Oh yes. It will most likely include paper­back copies of Dark­house, Red Fox and an ARC of Dead Sky Morn­ing PLUS either a Team Dex or a Team Perry shirt/tank top. Now, Dex and Perry are on the same team, don’t get me wrong. But I first had the idea for the Team Dex shirt because so many peo­ple are always rag­ging on the poor guy. So when I got a Team Dex shirt last week (see below), peo­ple then had requests for a Team Perry shirt. Come on…everyone is on Team Perry. She doesn’t need a shirt. But I’ll do it any­way because it’s a give­away and I like you guys. But I won’t do a Team Jenn shirt. That’s just push­ing it.

Any­way, stay tuned for that give­away, as well as a Dead Sky Morn­ing ARC give­away through GoodReads over the week­end.

With the Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror show find­ing some suc­cess, ama­teur ghosthunters Perry Palomino and Dex Foray embark on their most ter­ri­fy­ing inves­ti­ga­tion yet. A tiny, fog-shrouded island in the rough strait between British Colum­bia and Wash­ing­ton State has held a dark secret for decades. At the turn of the cen­tury it was used as a leper colony where over forty souls were left to rot, die and bury each other. Now a func­tion­ing camp­ground, Perry and Dex spend an iso­lated week­end there to inves­ti­gate poten­tial haunt­ings but as the duo quickly find out, there is more to fear on D’Arcy Island than just ghosts. The island quickly pits part­ner against part­ner, spi­ral­ing the pair into mad­ness that serves to destroy their san­ity, their rela­tion­ship and their very lives.

What a scary and sexy cover, right? Per­fectly encap­su­lates the third book in the Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror Series. Scary, sexy and seductive.

Book #3, Dead Sky Morn­ing, is out Octo­ber 13th, 2011 with advanced review copies avail­able in mid-August. There will be some give­aways soon for this book as well, so stay tuned!

Hey every­one. Whew. I am exhausted. After three nights cov­er­ing three dif­fer­ent shows (Soundgar­den and QOTSA) in three dif­fer­ent cities, tak­ing three dif­fer­ent sets of pho­tos and hav­ing to write three dif­fer­ent reviews…I’m a lit­tle tired. Fan­tas­tic, unbe­liev­able week­end but I often for­get that the work starts AFTER the fun is over. Oh well, I’ve been going through pho­tos I took of Chris Cor­nell and Josh Homme for days, so I am def­i­nitely not com­plain­ing. Here are some of my favorites:

Sigh. Boys and guitars.

Any­way, speak­ing of a Red Fox, I’m doing a give­away through GoodReads:

I’m giv­ing away four paper­back copies to any­one in North Amer­ica. Super easy to enter so just click to win!

Also, Red Fox was cho­sen as part of Teaser Tues­day on The Book­ish Babes. Great teaser too, I must say. Check it out HERE.
