Walking the dog along the shore, not too far from the beach. Not a great video. Just a test.

Mummy found at roadside attraction! Scary as hell horror -- There's a new mummy in town out on the desert sands of Arizona.

Watch this book trailer for The Attraction by Douglas Clegg about a scarier mummy!

Signs along the desert highway read, "Come See the Mystery!"

But some mysteries should remain buried forever. Charlie Goodrow, owner of the Brake Down Palace Gas and Sundries, tells anyone who stops for a fill-up about the mysterious attraction in back. It's the mummified remains of an ancient legendary flesh-scraper, whose job had been to scrape the flesh off the bones of human sacrifices...

When a car filled with teenagers gets a flat tire out in the middle of the Arizona heat, the kids figure they have time to check out the Mystery.

Behind curtains, in a glass case, lies a small, withered corpse with very long fingernails.

Above it, tacked on the wall, is a sign: "Do Not Touch. Do Not Feed."

But it has to be a hoax, right?

How could the kids know that feeding the Mystery will be the worst mistake of their lives? How could they know that the flesh-scraper is hungry for flesh?

The Attraction has been optioned for the movies as of 2008.
This is the book trailer for the horror novel The Attraction by Douglas Clegg. When several friends take off for a road trip over spring break, they stop at the roadside attraction. Far back, down a dark corridor, they find Scratch -- a mummy the size of a child, but with claw-fingers hands. And then, one of them steals Scratch and the nightmare begins...Read the paperback by Douglas Clegg.

"Clegg is the best horror writer of the post-Stephen King generation!"
Bentley Little
author of The Policy and The Ignored.

Fun Facts:

Clegg based the locale of The Attraction on various actual roadside attractions he's visited over the years, including the Thing in Arizona, off the 10 freeway.

Clegg based the college and fraternity party that opens The Attraction on his own college, Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia.

Clegg loves the mummy stories, but wanted to do something different than the slow and shambling Egyptian mummy tales, and given that he's seen mummies on the desert, he figured he'd play off the idea of an Aztec mummy of some kind to create Scratch, the creature from The Attraction.

Douglas Clegg's first novel was Called Goat Dance and came out in 1989, and more recently, his novel, The Priest of Blood hit the New York Times Bestseller List.

Clegg's favorite mummy movies include The Mummy, The Curse of the Mummy, and Bubba Ho-Tep.

Clegg's other novels include The Priest of Blood, The Lady of Serpents, The Queen of Wolves, The Hour Before Dark, You Come When I Call You, Nightmare House, Naomi, and several more.

"Douglas Clegg has become the new star in horror fiction, and THE HOUR BEFORE DARK is his best and most exciting novel to date. This is pure imagination, and it is wearing speed skates."
Peter Straub
author of Lost Boy, Lost Girl and the New York Times Bestseller Black House (with Stephen King)

"Clegg delivers!"
John Saul
New York Times Bestseller of Nightshade and Midnight Voices.

"Clegg's stories can chill the spine so effectively that the reader should keep paramedics on standby."

Author of the New York Times Bestseller The Husband.

Among the many ruins of the Hudson Valley of New York, is the mansion known as Harrow, built by the occultist Justin Gravesend in the late 19th century. It has a reputation for hauntings primarily from its fairly violent history and the fact that Gravesend enjoyed a reputation as a spiritualist and student of the occult. Isis Claviger, his mistress, who had also been an associate of Aleister Crowley, is reported to have intentionally allowed herself to be murdered -- in a ritual conducted by Gravesend -- in Harrow itself.

Harrow, it's said, has had millions of ghostly visitations, perhaps as many as ten million.

The spectral evidence is there, at the house itself. It is a house of ancient sorcery and terrible crime.

Do you believe in ghosts? Want to know the story behind ghosts and hauntings?

Harrow is a sprawling estate in the Hudson Valley, outside of the town of Watch Point. It was built before 1900, and the man who built it was an associate of Aleister Crowley. Isis Claviger, the notorious psychic, wrote a book, The Infinite Ones, about the various manifestations at Harrow. It is rumored that she is buried in the walls of the house.

Read the books of Harrow, including Nightmare House, Mischief, The Infinite, and The Abandoned. But be forewarned: the spirits of the dead reach out to the living with hunger.

One of the strangest cases of murder in New England history was the recent murder of Gordon Raglan, on Burnley Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. He was found in the smokehouse, off the edge of his farming property, as if he'd been nearly obliterated by the killer. Yet, not a trade of evidence could link the crime to any possible suspect.

How was Gordon Raglan murdered?

The police said it could not be solved - in winter, in the smokehouse where Nemo and his brother and sister had played their Dark Game as children, the body had been found.

Was the place haunted? Or was some maniac loose on Burnley Island?

Find out more in The Hour Before Dark by Douglas Clegg the harrowing account of the mystery of the house called Hawthorne.

As children, they played the Dark Game...

When Nemo Raglan's father is murdered in one of the most vicious killings of recent years, Nemo must return to the New England island he thought he had escaped for good, Burnley Island . . . and the shadowy farmhouse called Hawthorn.

But this murder was no crime of human ferocity. What butchered Nemo's father may in fact be something far more terrifying--something Nemo and his younger brother, Bruno, and sister, Brooke, have known since childhood.

"Here comes a candle to light you to bed . . .

And here comes a chopper to chop off your head."

Go to http://www.DouglasClegg.com for free cool stuff surrounding this and other books. The Hour Before Dark is a murder story that meets a haunting on Burnley Island, off the coast of New England, when Nemo Raglan returns to his family home where his father has been killed by a maniac...

The movie was optioned, with script by Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar.

Facts: Based on two islands off the coast of New England called Fisher's Island and Martha's Vineyard.

Clegg visited Martha's Vineyard as a teenager and adult, and has explored Fisher's Island by bicycle.

Clegg lives on the coast of New England, currently.

One character was inspired by the story of John McCain when he was a POW and Clegg was in high school with McCain's son. Clegg didn't know Obama back then, but he wanted to give him equal time in this note out of fairness.

Clegg chose the name Nemo for his protagonist because of Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- a childhood love of Clegg's.

Clegg believes many children play "dark games" - those secret rituals and games that get one through traumatic moments of chilhood, which need to be discarded or worked-through once one reaches adulthood.

Clegg's background includes magazine work, TV work, and publishing. He has been writing fiction since he was eight years old.

Clegg's father was an officer in the Navy, in submarines, but bears no resemblance to Gordon Raglan in the novel.

While The Hour Before Dark is a work of fiction, Douglas Clegg believes that there can be hauntings, even if it's a psychological issue for the person being haunted - doesn't make it any less real.

Clegg's favorite popular horror novel: a toss-up between Stephen King's The Shining and Thomas Tryon's The Other.

Are vampires real? In the medieval era, the accounts of female vampires and succubi drinking the blood of the living -- in an erotic embrace -- certainly existed.

And in The Vampyricon, the epic of vampires by Douglas Clegg, their secret history is revealed. Go to http://www.DouglasClegg.com for free ebooks, screensavers & more.

This is the TV commercial that ran on the SciFi Channel as well as select other channels in 2007 for Douglas Clegg's The Vampyricon: The Lady of Serpents, an epic tale of vampires, sword and sorcery. All three books of The Vampyricon -- The Priest of Blood, The Lady of Serpents, and The Queen of Wolves -- are out in paperback now.

Clegg Facts:

Clegg recently read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, and enjoys the vampire fiction of Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and many others.

In the paranormal end of the spectrum, he enjoys Christine Feehan, Lynn Viehl, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, J.R. Ward, and others.

Clegg's first official vampire novel that he read: Bram Stoker's Dracula

Second: Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

Clegg's favorite vampire movies: Let the Right One In, Near Dark, 30 Days of Night, Dracula (Frank Langella and Bela Lugosi), Nosferatu...

Clegg once went to a party in Manhattan attended mostly by vampires to celebrate Katherine Ramsland's excellent book, Piercing the Darkness.

Clegg based the locations of The Lady of Serpents and The Vampyricon on the forest of Paimpont in Brittany, and on the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan in Mexico.

Clegg developed the myths and legends of the vampires of The Vampyricon from ancient Hurrite and Sumerian sources, as well as early Greek and Persian myth.

If Clegg could get an actor to play Aleric in the movie version, he would want Gael Garcia Bernal.

In the book trailers for The Priest of Blood and The Lady of Serpents, bestselling novelist Christine Feehan's daughter portrays Pythia, and her son-in-law portrays Aleric. Her niece, Jessica, portrays Enora, the Queen of Wolves.
