Devil Mountain

"Ghost stories don't get any better than this." --J.R. Rain

Six years have passed since trouble last visited Cades Cove....

The death and destruction wrought by Teutates, along with Allie Mae McCormick's deadly rage against David Hobbs and his family in Tennessee and Colorado, has almost been forgotten. The renowned "lovers' lane" ravine in the heart of Cades Cove rests quietly below moonlit skies at night, and John Running Deer can once again enjoy the seclusion of his Smoky Mountain residence... almost.

Ever since the previous hauntings ended, a ghost known only as Galiena has made her presence known to John on an increasingly frequent basis. As a former spirit guide to John's grandfather, Two Eagles Cry, Galiena has kept watch over the deity siblings of Teutates buried in another ravine-this one near Cherokee, North Carolina. Having guarded the bones of these entities for the past millennium, a recent Supreme Court judgment has allowed a ruthless land developer to capitalize on his ancestor's claim to this ravine and the surrounding hills nestled below a majestic mountain disdained by the Cherokee as Tsvsgina Odalv, or "Devil Mountain".

Recent construction of luxury cabins surrounding the ravine has awakened the entities, and Galiena enlists John's help to try and prevent these four ancient deities from escaping their imprisonment and bringing untold misery and bloodshed to the area. But what happens when John is too late to prevent the escape? Even with the help of Evelyn and David Hobbs there are no guaranties that what happened in Cades Cove won't be visited upon the unsuspecting residents living near this new ravine.

As the death toll climbs, John and his companions race to cure the tainted land and find a way to subdue its bloodthirsty tenants... to hopefully prevent worse carnage from spreading beyond the realm of Devil Mountain.

Acclaim for Aiden James:

"Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one." Bookfinds review for "The Forgotten Eden"

"A variety of twists, surprises, and subplots keep the story moving forward at a good pace. My interest was piqued almost immediately and my attention never wavered as I forced my eyes to stay open well into the night. Aiden James is a Master Storyteller, whose career is on the rise Out-freaking-standing-excellent " Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews, for "Immortal Plague"

"Aiden James' writing style flows very easily and I found that Cades Cove snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit's interaction became prevalent with the family... The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae's (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we've seen before in horror and ghost tales." Evelyn Klebert, Author of "A Ghost of a Chance", "Dragonflies", and "An Uneasy Traveler" for "Cades Cove"

"The intense writing style of Aiden James kept my eyes glued to the story and the pages seemed to fly by at warp speed... Twists, turns, and surprises pop up at random times to keep the reader off balance. It all blends together to create one of the best stories I have read all year." Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews, for "The Devil's Paradise"

"Aiden James is insanely talented We are watching a master at work...Ghost stories don't get any better than this." J.R. Rain, Author of "Moon Dance' and "Vampire Moon
