Jonathan Ryan’s Highly Anticipated Sequel Dark Bride
Publication Date: April 21, 2015
Open Road Media is pleased to announce the highly anticipated second book in the 3 Gates of the Dead series by Jonathan Ryan: Dark Bride.
Assistant pastor Aidan Schaeffer has been chosen to be a part of the Order of the Five Sorrows, a group dedicated to fighting evil with the use of holy objects present at Christ’s crucifixion. But before he can come to terms with his destiny, Aidan must destroy the Dark Bride—and stop the Grinning Man at all cost. But not everyone will survive the horrific battle to come…
Expertly combining elements of horror, humor, and Ryan’s own Christian religion, Dark Bride is a terrifying thriller that will keep you up all night trying to finish it—and because you are too scared to go to sleep.
Jonathan Ryan is an editor at Ave Maria Press in Notre Dame, Indiana and writes for the renowned interfaith site Pantheos.com. He is a member of the Horror Writers Association and a Benedictine oblate novice with St. Meinrad Archabbey.
