Jericho

Jericho is an up-coming suspension horror novel by author, Darryl M. Finch-Ellis. This will be his fourth novel, after Bloody Monday To Guts Sunday.

Finch-Ellis thought of the concept for the novel in late-2019, as simply as a story that one man's redemption with horror-esc elements, twists and turns, before it became an immersion of a dark, hellacious place named Jericho.

Darryl has stated that it will be around 240 pages long, maybe less, maybe more, depending on the length of chapters, however, 240 is what the medium suggests.

Setting:
By the little information that has been given, all that is known is that the novel will take place in a small, mysterious, fictional town called Jericho.
