DARKSCOPE<br />a Ghost Story<br /><br />“A frightening tale of lost souls, lost love, murder and deceit.”<br />---The Sierra Vista Herald <br /><br />After photographer Chelsea McCord’s marriage falls apart, her great uncle Bob talks her into starting a new life in 1980s Bisbee, Arizona, the historic mining town with a notorious past. Bob's father, mining magnate Lucas McCord, helped build Bisbee in the early 20th century.<br /><br />Chelsea discovers an old box camera in a dusty trunk, the film still inside. She uses it to photograph the town. Is it her imagination, or does the stench of death emanate from the camera’s inner workings?<br /><br />And when Chelsea looks through a viewfinder wavy with age, she sees children in gunny sack clothes, their eyes dark and grainy. Children from the 1920’s. She sees a young man and woman at a train station that no longer exists. The same young woman appears in each of the camera's photographs.<br /><br />As the past superimposes itself on the present, Chelsea learns the secret of her powerful family’s dark legacy. With one click of the shutter, she has unleashed a pure and hungry evil that will consume everyone she loves. <br /><br />Pitted against a supernatural force and stalked by a psychopathic killer, Chelsea rediscovers her capacity to love as she fights to save her beloved uncle–and herself.<br /><br /> “Skillfully blending elements of mystery, horror and a nice touch of irony, DARKSCOPE weaves a fascinating spell. 4 ½ stars."<br />---Frank A. Loporto, Rave Reviews<br /><br />“Buy the book and send it to people you want to visit here. If they aren’t scared away by the plot, they’ll soon come in.”<br />---Bisbee Gazette
