Dean Sherwood Supernatural Adventures

A note to the reader: Each book is a self-contained story and can be read in any order.


Got a strange problem? Get a strange detective.

When a valuable rare book causes its new owner bone-chilling nightmares, occult investigator Dean Sherwood thinks the solution will be simple. But those gruesome dreams are actually the first stirrings of a curse decades in the making.

He tries to untangle the complex threads, but is warned off by a vengeful ghost who will stop at nothing to finish one final experiment—one that leaves a trail of terror and death in its wake. Dean must halt the supernatural countdown any way he can, no matter how many monsters, phantasms, and just plain annoyances stand in his way.

Add a trio of warlocks besieging his house, hell-bent on retrieving an ancient gold coin, and soon Dean is up to his vintage tie clip in a whirlpool of intrigue, sorcery, and murder!

Ghosts? Monsters? Warlocks? All in a day’s work.

Discovering a beautiful woman trapped in a basement is shocking enough. But when that beautiful woman also has a tail, occult investigator Dean Sherwood knows it’s time to take the case.

The complexities pile up when Dean finds a local club serving something horrifying in its cafeteria, as well as a pair of would-be wizards who get underfoot at every step.

When a murderous monster, large as a house and immune to even the strongest magic, closes in, Dean must do the one thing he fears above all else: asking his antisocial uncle Willard for help!
