Patrick Very excited to announce the release of a new novella: "The Maggots Underneath The Porch."

Jimmy Turner is terrified. Very frightening things are happening in the neighborhood and he can’t figure out why. The Maggots Underneath the Porch is a powerful coming-of-age novella circa 1975. In the midst of a mid-West group of teens who are collecting baseball cards and beer cans, experiencing the cultural impact of JAWS, playing little league baseball, blasting guitar God rock music on ghetto blasters, a ravenous abomination is about to unleash death and mayhem on their unsuspecting rural community! Will any of them survive? And how many in the town will become victims before its carnage can be stopped? Beware the lurking danger that festered and formed amidst the rotting filth of The Maggots Underneath the Porch!


Patrick New release from author, Patrick James Ryan! THE NIGHT IT GOT OUT is now available. Check it out @ Amazon and Black Bed Sheet Books!!!! I am really proud and excited about! this novel and know interested readers will enjoy it!
