Jo-Anne Russell is my Woman In Horror today! Jo-Anne writes, edits, formats, does art, and publishes horror. She is a busy lady for sure. I had the honor of working with her on the edits for Morbid Metamorphosis, a great horror anthology that was her Press' first published tome when she was at the helm of Lycan Valley Press. It received super reviews. It was a great experience for me. Jo-Anne picked some great authors for this anthology, and I merely made a few suggestions here and there.
Jo-Anne Russell is a dark fiction writer, a member of the Horror Writer's Association, the Writers Guild of Alberta and the Edmonton Arts Counsel. Her work can be found in a multitude of anthologies, and as standalone stories. Her debut novel The Nightmare Project was republished a couple years ago, and Book 2 will follow. She is a wife, mother of eight children, has numerous pets, and is legally blind.
She has a taste for the macabre and bizarre. Jo-Anne says, "My Great Grandmother purchased a casket and kept it in her basement before I was born. I remember playing around it and asking her questions about it and death in general from the time I was very young. She was blatantly honest in her answers. I have always been very curious."

Blaze McRob's review.
The Nightmare Project, by Jo-Anne Russell, is one fantastic tale of psychological horror. Jo-Anne goes to the very edge of the abyss of insanity and hangs there with her tortured heroine, long enough so you don't know if she's coming back from it or if she'll take the plunge into a pit of no return. This is a chiller well worth every penny and more.
Welcome to The Nightmare Project!

Well, my fellow lovers of horror, there's another powerhouse author who knows how to scare the soul out of your skin. And I'm not kidding. I was truly frightened. Her new book has pulled me back to the days when I walked the dark and dingy corridors of a secured Psych unit. 12 years I endured the voices, the smell of medicine, the sounds of buckles from patients trying to get out of their straps while secured to their beds, it all started coming back to me with her first chapter. Here I am...I'm back in my happy place!! Jo-Anne pulls you into an asylum where Julia encounters more than just crazies in this place. I love horror, but you give me a book with a psychological twist, an asylum, and some really weird stuff going on that gave me the goose-bumps, hell, I'm buying that book. Even the evil little jester was frightened, and trust me, he doesn't scare easy. Two bony thumbs up, and a special ringing of the jester bells for this great book.

I enjoyed this short story. It holds an unexpected scare factor. It's well written and an easy one sitting read. I can recommend this as a great read. Beware the water, and watch the twist in the tale.

Angel looked out the old house's window. Memories flashed through her mind of the terrible winter her family perished, and she was brutally tortured and tormented.
Now with her husband and children by her side she has returned to her childhood home to face the past; and maybe share the secret.
Her dead sister whispers in her ear and Angel giggles.
The secrets of the past are as close as whispers in the cellar.
