Fall Leaves and the Black Dragon [Kindle Edition]

Erik Gustafson (Author)

Book Description

Imagine the horrors of growing up not knowing who you are. When Liam was six, he survived a devastating fire, a horrific past that won’t leave him alone.

Literally.

Secrets that should have burned away long ago haunted him for years and ruined his childhood.

Demons want him dead.

Voices beckon to him in the night.

At the brink of insanity, Liam heads back to confront the ghosts of his past and gain control of his life.

Every step of the way something evil is trying to stop him.

This dark coming of age journey reveals a truth more horrifying than the huge fire he lived through as a child.

A truth that threatens many lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great ending April 4, 2012

By Sue Owen

Format:Kindle Edition

I had a hard time getting into this story. At first it seemed like the normal (if there is such a thing as normal) boy meets world type of book. As the book progressed it became apparent that was not the case. At first I thought most of his `dreams' were symbolic and I was just about to put the book down and send the author a note saying I was sorry but this wasn't the type of book I first thought and that I couldn't review it for him.

However, as I made my way further into the book I realized I was very wrong. And I got hooked on trying to figure out the mystery along with the characters. Typically I don't devote this much time to a single book because I have so many I've committed to reading, but there was something about the characters that kept bringing me back.

Maybe it was the sense of mystery from the beginning that kept gnawing at me to figure it out, I don't know. I do know the story is very well written and the end is more than suspenseful and definitely becomes a page turn about half way through. But don't neglect the first of the book, either, because you have to read that part to know who to champion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps you on the edge of your seat February 22, 2011

By Kris10

Format:Kindle Edition

When I first started reading this book I thought it was a coming of age story of a young man with issues. Little did I know that it would turn out to be a scary, keep you on the edge of your seat story. My mom and I both read this and thought it was wonderful! I couldn't stop reading! I would recommend this to anyone of just about any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragons and Ghosts and Fear, oh My! November 6, 2011

By Mark A Lewis

Format:Kindle Edition

I do believe that Eric Gustafson outdone himself with this book.

It kept me in rapt, on the edge of my seat attention.

There are only three main characters, Liam/Billy/Willy, Kenny, and Rich. Granted, Rich is dead, but he's still a major character.

You never know weather any of this is real, or psychological. Whatever it is, is awesome.

I HIGHLY recommend this book.

P.S. You may not want to play with Little Green Soldiers anymore either.

More About the Author

I spent 20 years serving in the United States Air Force, and have had the fortune to live all over the world, including Iceland, Germany, and in a tent for a year in Saudi Arabia.

Always an artist at heart, I produced many paintings during my adventures. After my service, I settled down with my family (wife, two great daughters, 2 cats and a little white fluff dog) in small town Iowa, where I love to volunteer at the antique carousel. Now, I help people with intellectual disabilities to reach their potential and teach psychology classes at a local college.

I switched from a paint brush to a pen and am now a horror writer, by night.

I have had short stories published by Visionary Press, The Horror Zine, Crypto and Co., and several horror anthologies.

Escape from your reality for a bit and get scared. It feels good.
