APOLLO BEACH, Fla. - June 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Dark Alley Press announces the release of Richard J. O'Brien's chilling novel, The Garden of Fragile Things, on June 16, 2015. The Garden of Fragile Things is a literary dark tale that chronicles four boys’ coming of age against paranormal forces that operate between two worlds.

In the late 1970s, Joe Godwin was just twelve years old, living in a working-class neighborhood. Plagued by bullies and a volatile home life, Joe spends his time with his three friends in search of adventure. The discovery of an abandon mansion during a simple camping trip in a state forest sets of a series of consequences in motion between the boys, inhabitants of the mansion, and the others who occupy the garden behind the colossal home.

"Readers who enjoyed The Body from Stephen King will love Richard O'Brien's fresh take on the young adult supernatural novel," says Managing Editor, Fawn Neun. "We're delighted to work with Richard, and know readers will have trouble putting The Garden of Fragile Things down until the very last page."

Richard J. O'Brien was born in Camden, New Jersey. He served the army, attended Rutgers University, and worked a variety of jobs before attending graduate school. In 2012, he received his MFA in Creative Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Currently, the author lives in Havertown, Pennsylvania and teaches English composition at Mercer County Community College, Rowan College at Gloucester County, and others.
