• About sWitch

    Barbara Ducharme’s got a plan: she’s going to stitch her fraying family back together with a little help from…

    Mired in a homogeneous suburban hell where happiness is always one impulse purchase away, what’s a housewife to do when her frozen marriage refuses to thaw, and her children’s lives are falling apart before they’ve even had a chance to begin? A trip to a run-down, mountain home she’s inherited from a mysterious relative sounds like an ideal way to break the routine, and break the news she’s been dabbling in the dark side.

    Then they showed up––three masked assailants on their own little adventure filled with terror, torment and torture. Of course, there’s no accounting for the toll years of family dysfunction has taken on their victims. For Barbara, the brutal assault may be just the thing to bring her twisted family together. For the intruders, it could be wrong family, wrong time.

    sWitch is a sophisticated, subversive romp that blends the sexy with the supernatural, knowing just when to turn up the humor and when to turn down the lights. So light a fire, lock your doors, and get ready to turn the tables on everything you’ve ever known about horror fiction.

    Sand in salad
    Lipstick teeth
    Kink in hose
    Half-dead wreath

    Stain on carpet
    Faucet leak
    Rat in cupboard
    Widow’s peak

    The suck is sour
    The rub is sweet
    The devil’s details
    He doth speak:

    “Know me, you do
    Somewhere deep
    In darkness, truth
    In darkness, sleep

    Awake now, hear me
    See and seek
    About you, this
    Now heed the freak.”
