In the midst of many transparent antics ranging from the Internet to Hollywood, fans and enthusiasts of horror and psychological flair are pretty much at a loss concerning where to find that next great title. Luckily for them, over the past year there has been a literary development taking place that is certain to knock everyone's heads back into place while shaking the scene ecstatic.

Devil'z Hide, the all-new Psychological/Survival Horror Novel elated in trimmings of Crime, Drama, Mystery, & Thriller elements roars atomically onto the book-scene with a story and setting unlike anything ever experienced before?

"Devil'z Hide is a story that begs many questions; it is not the standard fare of predictable fiction. We've brought intrigue back into the horror genre and woven it with flavors of The Twilight Zone and Silent Hill. We don't underestimate the reader. We instead challenge them to take this journey." - Mary Margaret Park explained to the Immersive Media Group

The intensity and unraveling nature of Devil'z Hide is immersive in a respect that transcends the first-six chapters available for download. Official Test Reader sources say that the story doesn't just get stranger for the sake of it; instead, it is cohesively ambient and mysterious in a regard that allows you to better understand the compelling undertones behind all of the darker nature presented.

"Our Protagonist; John Riley, is symbolic of the world as a whole; with the current trend of people blissfully burying their heads in the sand, what we see versus how things really exist is often very far removed. It's a disturbing notion that we veil our world in rose colored glasses and then lament those that tell the unadulterated truth. The tale of John Riley is both entertaining and a timely one. He's made the mistake of molding truths until they suit him and becomes so far removed from what is real that his external world transforms into a distorted reflection of his mind. Devil'z Hide is a disturbing universe; but it's not a random jumble of pain and suffering. We merely cloak the truth with a surreal vision. There are lessons waiting to spring from its fog infested corridors; a day that plunges from grey into lightless oblivion offers only an inkling of what's to come." - Ms. Park continued

What of the fear factors though? What type of horror implementation is being dealt and how does it impact the international reading scene? Is it perhaps a montage of truly re-innovated fright kinetics?? Or perhaps it is the formula to re-invent the wheel with regard to more subtle and classical scare tactics.....?

Mary added the following concerning the Aesthetics of Devil'z Hide:

"The environments explored, as well as the creatures that dwell in Devil'z Hide serve a purpose; they don't exist just to scare the pants off of the reader. They are the story guides with a slanted view. What they show is closer to the truth than you would ever dream possible. The chains of the monsters for example, become the chains of consciousness. The screeching metal charm wielded by one of the pursuers becomes the searing truth."

A segue-way into the minds eye is truly the only description viable for a story of such magnitude. It isn't the words of journalistic sensationalism or pandering for more audience that drives this descriptive onslaught however.

Many say that two heads are better than one; Sekrett Scilensce, the second mastermind behind Devil'z Hide certainly didn't hold back any of his ideas when contributing to the more hardcore aspects and ever twisting plot-lines of DH's inner-workings.

"Ss and I had tons of fun writing this story. It's always challenging to channel two creative minds towards a common goal. I believe that in doing so, we ended up far exceeding our original expectations. We're looking forward to sharing the Devil'z Hide universe with the world?so come on in?..if you dare."

Beyond that, Devil'z Hide also has an Original Soundtrack component composed & performed by Sekrett Scilensce.

We lastly caught up with Ss to get his perspective and insights into this dynamically mesmerizing and disquieting Universe.

"It is something that you will have to take the plunge on and dive head first into. It isn't teen or slasher horror in any respect nor', shall it ever be. As Mary has stated, Devil'z Hide is where your minds eye is always blind and where escaping reality is the ultimate delusion. It's not confined to a home, a church, a school, or any one location at all. It's vast; with so much to explore that upon all readings, you still probably wouldn't have truly begun to scratch the surface. Mary and I still discover many things even now in its final editing phase. In my view, everything that needs to be said can't be put into words. It can only be discovered through experience. That's probably the most important aspect of Devil'z Hide as a whole. At the same time, it's what makes Devil'z Hide one of the most important stories of this year and beyond."
