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

Mired in an homogenous 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.

Watch for it: coming August, 2010!

***

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.”
