RAGS AND OLD IRON sprang from the fertile imagination of Lorelei Shannon, an all around artist whose hands sculpt, whose mind plots dark fantasies, and whose uncanny eyes design video games that appeal to the serious gamers. It was originally released in 2002 and the Juno re-release is bound to once again stir up the passions of her readers.

RAGS AND OLD IRON tells the tale of college student Amy Sullivan who hides a dark secret in her heart and mind. Things appear to unravel quickly as her past catches up with her and several physical manifestations of her dark secret become unleashed that cause her friends to worry about her intensely. It is soon obvious that Amy is being stalked by a dark entity and only a childhood friend who understands the way of the voodoo may be able to offer relief and a way out of a nightmare that does not end. Yet is Amy ready to let go of the love of her childhood to do so?

RAGS AND OLD IRON is the kind of horror/paranormal story that is so unlike any other that it will make you sit up and take notice. Those who find the old vampires blasé, and who try to politely stifle a yawn at the notion of zombies and other undead will be riveted by the evil that is unleashed by the innocence of childhood. Lorelei Shannon succeeds in crafting the kind of paranormal novel that - in time - may well become a definitive work of the genre. Do yourself a favor and read this stunning masterpiece of dark fantasy!
