Dark Tales for the Brave. Mysteries for the Curious.
From Teen Terrors to Adult Crimes
Joe Bright features a range of thrilling titles, from young adult horror to adult mysteries, ensuring a spine-tingling experience for every reader.
Young Adult Horror
Augie Doyle sees monsters where others see shadows—and in Hollowbrook, he might not be wrong. Obsessed with horror and the supernatural, Augie is convinced his town is crawling with creatures most people don’t believe in.
Vampires? Obviously. Witches, aliens, lizard people? All real, probably. His friends think he’s lost in fantasy, but the weirdness in Hollowbrook keeps proving him half-right… and that’s the scary part.
Adult Mystery
Winter Haven is a quiet town with a long memory—and longer grudges. For nearly twenty years, something has festered beneath its calm surface, tied to the reclusive George O’Briens and his granddaughter, shunned by nearly everyone around them.
When Mitchell Sanders, a college student from Boston, arrives to help restore the rundown O’Brien home, he begins to uncover whispers of a past no one wants to revisit. But in Winter Haven, digging too deep comes with consequences.

Some mornings, I forget to look. Most mornings, I wish I had.
The girl in the mirror isn’t me. She wears my freckles like stains and my red hair like a warning. Her smile is crooked in all the wrong places, her eyes too dull, her face too plain. Sometimes, from the corner of my eye, I catch her watching.
Everyone else is beautiful without trying. Me? I don’t even know which version of me is real.
What Readers Are Saying
Augie Doyle
This series is absolutely great. My teenage son loves them and his classmates do as well.
I wasn’t sure when I started this that I would like it but I couldn’t put it down, I was still ready it at 2.am.
Augie Doyle is funny, witty, naive and complicated. Just the right ingredients to make for “never a dull moment” reading. They should turn this book series into a movie!
I won’t soon forget Augie and his friends.
The Black Garden
Joe Bright has a fascinating style and his words can paint a thousand mental pictures.
I found this an unusual book, difficult to describe, an almost haunting quality at times but also very touching and exceptionally well written.
I read it in one sitting even though it meant sacrificing a little sleep. Go with Sanders as he runs from himself in Boston to a small town where he confronts himself in the form of other people.
Evocative of the era with beautifully drawn characters woven into a moving uplifting story of people you begin to love.
