About the book

Renowned horror producer Jonathan Mystére has created an oeuvre of scary movies with a rabid cult following.

His films have been lauded for their realistic and gruesome violence. Success has brought him fame and wealth, and now he lives in an island mansion. Fans the world over would give anything to visit and see how the Master comes up with the twisted ideas for his films.

Samantha could never have imagined that her day could get any worse during her shift at St. Andrews Hospital and that she would be plunged into events of violence and survival. With 9 other “guests” Samantha finds herself to be an unwilling participant in a game of survival within Mystère’s Island mansion.

Now she and the other guests will need to navigate life-threatening traps and trials if they are to escape alive.
