Experiment in Terror

Experiment in Terror

Welcome to the home page of my favourite author, Karina Halle. She is the @MetalBlonde author of the Experiment in Terror series of novels. Dex Foray and Perry Palomino are characters that you will NEVER forget! 

In lieu of NOT providing spoilers let me just say that this series covers the lives and extremely scary / realistic / romantic / sexual but-not-explicitly-so paranormal  jobs of two normal young adults who just happen to produce an Internet weekly show.

You will relate instantly to Perry, the lovable but quirky female lead. You'll want to confront Dex in RL just to shake him, hard. Or maybe just smack him. And as for me, I also wanted a ride on Perry's little motorcycle to see what she sees.

Books in the series include Darkhouse, Red Fox, Dead Sky Morning, Lying Season, The Benson, Old Blood and The Dex Files. As ebooks, you can get them at all the major booksellers' sites but they were originally published by http://www.smashwords.com/

From the author's site:

A (very) mature young adult novel that is scary, sexy and relat­able, filled with the super­nat­ural and things that go bump in the night.

 

In a large, flaky nut­shell, the Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror Series is an eight-part sci-fi/fantasy/horror series that revolves around a pair of ghost hunters. Well, aspir­ing ghost hunters, any­way. After film­ing a creepy expe­ri­ence in her uncle’s dilap­i­dated light­house, 22-year old Perry Palomino becomes a YouTube and inter­net star overnight. She attracts the atten­tion of Dex Foray, a pro­ducer and cam­era­man for a site that spe­cial­izes in var­i­ous webisodes, who con­vinces her to be a host for a low-budget ghost hunt­ing series. The only prob­lem is, nei­ther Perry or Dex are entirely “with it” — I mean, they see ghosts, after all. And when the duo isn’t wrestling with their very notion of real­ity, they’re grap­pling with a work­ing rela­tion­ship that’s deep-cut with sex­ual ten­sion. As the series moves on, lead­ing Perry and Dex to new locales and super­nat­ural sit­u­a­tions, their lives become more and more inter­twined, where they dis­cover that ghosts aren’t the only things that can haunt them.

As books go, they are VERY reasonably priced and I exhort you to read Darkhouse to begin with. You'll be hooked.
