"SERENADE is an exciting debut from a fresh new voice in the genre. Stephen Mizell writes with energy, style, originality, and unpredictability. Recommended!" -Jonathan Janz, Author of VEIL, CHILDREN OF THE DARK, and THE DISMEMBERED Most people bring a gift to a wedding; Samuel brings melodic death. Born with the extraordinary ability to control others with his voice, Samuel Serenade has taken it upon himself to rid the world of evil, using major events and music to commit mass executions. However, during the planning of a wedding, he falls for the maid of honor, Elizabeth, who begins to make him question his moral mission. Lives hang in the balance as love clashes with purpose. Will their love be enough to sway his vengeful tendencies? And who is the mysterious Mr. Glimpse following Samuel's trail? The wedding date is set-consider this your save-the-date. In this modern-day reimagining of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Stephen Mizell weaves a thread from past to present, blurring the line between good and evil. Stephen Mizell grew up in Norton, Kansas; a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of town with only one stoplight. Now he lives in Omaha, Nebraska with his wife, son, and their two cats. He has published multiple scripts for dramatic competition and is an affiliate writer in the Horror Writers Association. Written during his work lunch breaks, SERENADE is his debut novel.
