The Horror Builds as Part 5 of Gregory Blair's THE RITUAL is Unleashed!

Oct. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The fifth installment of Gregory Blair’s horror novel THE RITUAL is now available at amazon.com and bn.com, promising to give you more chills than a cold winter's morning.

In the tradition of Stephen King and Dean Koontz, THE RITUAL weaves a suspenseful tale of terror that grips the reader and never lets go until the final, horrible last page.

THE RITUAL tells of a house that has been deserted ever since the grisly murders that occurred inside some time ago. But the house comes alive again when strangers move in…and suddenly people start disappearing. College-bound Scott, his girlfriend A.J. and their friends try to get to the bottom of the strange occurrences. But as the body count rises, discoveries lead to a revelation more horrific than anything anyone could have fathomed.

"I read a lot of horror fiction growing up," Blair admits. “I liked getting lost in another world and then, as things got creepy, trying to figure out what the heck was going on before it was too late. I wrote THE RITUAL exactly in that same vein. It's getting lots of great feedback, so that makes me feel like I've done something right."

Blair decided to add to the suspense by presenting the book in serial format, ala the tradition of Charles Dickens.  This way, readers have to wait on edge for the next part to be released.  It has been successful:  this fifth segment makes its debut a little early, due to the prodding of fans who can't wait to find out what happens next.  

"All the cliffhangers are creating an extra element of fun, "Blair says.  "I get folks begging me for the next chapter."   And no wonder.  With the body count rising, time may be running out for Scott and his friends...

Copies of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of THE RITUAL are available now at amazon.com and bn.com. Get your copy today.  But don’t read them at night!
