Toledo, OH Author Publishes Epic New Horror Novel

Asylum of the Damned: A Series of Rune, a new book by Misty McKinney, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

About the Book
Rune is not your average young lady, and neither are the horrors she faces. In this suspenseful thriller, Asylum of the Damned, she and those closest to her experience bizarre hauntings, bewitching spells, and battles of unearthly proportions. Against the warnings of her father and some well-meaning friends, Rune is drawn to "research" an asylum with ties to the historical witch trials to find inspiration for writing her next novel. She is not surprised when her own rich history in the supernatural follows her, but what she finds is enough to fill more pages than she ever imagined.
