In The House of Leviathan - By Bestselling Author, B.D. Bruns

Recently, it seems the horror genre has been overrun with teen melodrama. Just google "why Twilight is bad" to get a sense of the disdain (my personal favorite is from The Oatmeal).

Bestselling author, B.D. Bruns wants to know, "what happened to just plain scary?"

In his new book, In The House of Leviathan, Bruns avoids the overdone teen drama and instead relies on classic gothic elements to create tension and terror.  “Mainstream horror has gone so mainstream that it isn’t scary anymore,” says Bruns. “Glittering teenage vampires aren’t even intended to be scary. But, classics like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, now that was terrifying. The difference is that Stoker embraced the unknown. I hope that readers of In The House of Leviathan find my embrace of the unknown to be equally thrilling.”

Set in an Italian paper mill during the 1860s , In The House of Leviathan follows Giuseppe, a humble man working in the mill, who witnesses Old Man Grapaldi summoning the Devil. Omens from the sea threaten the village and bizarre, violent happenings at their mill threaten his family. With their church rocked by inner turmoil and so many good men succumbing to dark secrets, Giuseppe himself must overcome his fears and his physical handicap to save his beloved sister.

Throughout the pages of In The House of Leviathan, readers can expect:

A reinvigoration of the classic horror and gothic genre.

Vivid imagery transporting readers to Italy’s exotic Amalfi Coast.

A connection between our greatest fictional thrills and the exotic history of the real world.

A throwback to masterfully built tension, believable characters with rich backgrounds and plot complexity informed by real world experiences.


Adventurer B. D. Bruns has traveled to over 50 countries to gather material for his bestselling books. He’s won 19 national and international book awards, including three national Book of the Year awards. Bruns’ first fiction book, The Gothic Shift (2014) won the International Book Awards Best Short Story Collection.

He also contributes to Yahoo Travel, BBC, CNN, The Daily Beast, and The Travel Channel.

Bruns’ travel adventures span from entering the Pyramids of Giza and swimming in the Panama Canal to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and touring Torture Museums in Estonia.

He has attended ceremonies from the descendants of cannibals in the South Pacific and has been consulted by a ghost tour in Malta. After residing in Dracula’s hometown for several years, Bruns moved to Las Vegas with his Romanian wife, where they live with two cats, Julius and Caesar.

Unknown Object Flying Over Head At Borris-In-Ossory Ireland

Date:  December 28, 2014
Time:  Early morning.

Just woke up about an hour ago an came down stairs to get something for breakfast went outside to have a cigarette and there was no cover of clouds over the sky.

Was looking up at the stars because it looks beautiful at this time. Anyway, I was looking up and spotted this flying object, it was totally silent and just going through the sky at a normal, but faster pace.

It went over Borris In Ossory, Ireland and was gone by the time I had finished smoking. I am a very quick smoker, only about 45 seconds to finish.

It was blinking twice every time I seen it. It looked exactly like a star, but it blink twice then stopped and repeated the pattern.

Found you on Google search for sightings. Wasn't freaked out, just admired it flying at such a pace. Thoughts?

Walderslade Kent UK Three Orange Lights In A Triangular Formation

Posted: May 13, 2009

Date: Summer of 2005 or 2006 ?
Time: Early evening.

Dear Sir/Madam, After reading an article about strange lights in the sky of Hempstead, about 3-4 years ago I was sitting with my daughter in my garden which is in Walderslade Kent just laying on our bouncy castle, when we both saw three orange lights in a shape of a triangle. They moved quite slow at first and moved in a sort of circular motion. I asked my daughter if she had seen them and she at that time asked what they were, but I was unsure as I have never seen anything like that before so couldn't answer her. Within a couple of minutes they had disappeared.

I have written to our local paper with this, but have never had a reply back as to what they could be, or if anyone else had seen anything. I tried looking up different things on the internet, but have still no idea what we both saw that night. Any help would be appreciated as I still wonder what we saw that early summer evening. Yours faithfully.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Accrington Lancashire England UK Half Circle Orange In Color

Posted: April 27, 2009

Date: April 3, 2009
Time: 22.15

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Half Circle.
Weather Conditions: Clear.

Description: On the date above, 3 people were standing in the back garden of a friends house. In the sky was what appeared to be a half circle shaped object. It was very clear that it was this shape. It was orange in colour with a flashing light on the left hand side. It almost looked as though it was on fire. It was stationary was approx: 10 seconds, then it appeared to come closer heading westwards. It then stopped again and moved towards the north, still quite slowly.

All the time it looked like it was glowing as if on fire. The object then appeared to circle around slowly before heading upwards and disappearing. At first we thought it may be a meteor but the movement was wrong for this.

-----

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

Hi John,

Many thanks for you reply.

Myself and my friends that were with me watched the whole incident and I really can confirm that it was not a balloon. We checked out all of these sites and pictures before we reported it just to check. When we described it as a half circle, the circle was the base section, not the top. The top was flat and there was a definite flashing light on the left hand side. The movement of the object and the way in which it clearly rose quite quickly back into the sky was too strange. The movement was far too controlled. We really did check all pictures and other descriptions as we are quite skeptical people about things like this and did think there was an explanation to it. There was none. I do believe totally John that this was a unidentified object in the sky. Kind Regards.

Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/

Blair Atholl Perthshire Scotland U.K. Video Shows Object To Be Diamond In Shape (Pictures)

Posted: April 21, 2009

Date: April 18, 2009
Time: 10:10 p.m. & 10:55 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Blair Atholl Perthshire Scotland U.K.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: To naked eye. Roundish video shows it to be a diamond shape.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: 10.10pm - A very bright fiery red light was seen travelling apparently slowly in a westerly direction. The light was flickering, the object was silent, there was no wind and the sky clear and starry, no moon. It's progress was steady, quickly getting fainter and smaller suggesting that it was moving at speed and climbing steeply (if it had not been climbing it would soon have been hidden by the hills) it was soon just a faint dot and gone. Total observation 2-3 minutes

10.55pm - From the same location another was seen exactly the same followed 30 seconds by another they also travelled westrly following roughly the same path as the other at 10.10pm. Their description is exactly as the first, flickering very bright fiery red and silent. Their progress was also no different, fading to nothing in a few minutes. Total observation 3-5 minutes

The direction of travel was to Kinloch Rannoch some 15 miles (as crow flies) where an earlier observation was reported 1/1/2009. My nearest obs point was approx 1 mile. Linked circumstantially but not physically observed. Was that directly over head appeared a very bright light moving NW 1-2 minutes after each of the observation times i.e.10.13pm to 10.15pm and again at 10.58pm to 11.03. This light was 4 times as bright as Venus and speed similar to a passenger airliner at cruise height, not on a normal flight path though and silent, this light continued NW faded very quickly. I could not guess at the speed of any of the objects as being dark there was nothing to gauge them by.

This in many ways is simmilar to the 1 January 2009 report on Kinloch Rannoch where 5 objects were seen, to assist in any investigation, where the observer was told of military test grounds nearby. There are no military test grounds anywhere near Kinloch Rannoch, all areas are totally unrestricted for anybody at any time excepting during the Deer Stalking when it is advised to ask estate managers to access hills etc. RAF uses all of the Scottish Highlands for low level flying this is always noisy. If I can find an email address I will send you extracted from video photos these are unfortunately black and white, but unedited.

Thank you to the witness for the report and photos of what was observed.

Bristol, Henbury England UK Six Lights In A Triangular Formation

Posted: April 19, 2009

Date: March 26, 2009
Time: 23:45

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 6
Shape of objects: 6 lights in a triangle formation moving left of my view.
Weather Conditions: Clear night, with only a few clouds.

Description: I was sitting outside in my brother back garden in Henbury, Bristol having a cigarette. I was out there for at least 45 minutes just looking up at the clear sky, as recently I've have not seen the sky to clear. before I saw the 6 lights, a flash of light like a shooting star (comet or something) past through the nights sky! this kept my eyes looking up and then after a few minutes I then saw another shooting star (comet) after seeing two comets or something, I then just gazed at the starts hoping to see another, but what I saw was from the start just looked like a arrangement of 6 stars in a triangle formation, until they started to move left all together and watch them all just move out of formation and move faster away past a small cloud, and then disappeared! what was this?!! I don't know! in between the lights I could just see the sky so naturally thought it was just the starts until they moved! I want to know if any one else saw what I saw the other night! I have never seen anything like this before.

Time: 20:10

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1 Big One or 6 or 7 in formation
Shape of objects: Points of light in a straight line.

Description: I was sitting in the garden, having a ciggie and looking at the stars, when I saw six or seven very faint star-like points of light, moving across the sky from the West. It lasted for about 3 seconds, which was just enough time to resolve the lights. I had no point of reference as far as size and distance, but they were all in line. It was strange to me, but I definitely saw it.

UFO In Gorlovka (Ukraine) Diagram

Posted: April 12, 2009

Date: Summer 1995/1996

Year somewhere 1995-96. I will not remember more precisely. Here co-ordinates (somewhere above this place they flew from my view point) - 48°20'16.16"N 37°58'3.84"E.

They were twirled about five minutes as on the picture 1. Then in turn, very quickly, disappeared "pithily" (pic. 2). If to trust other eyewitnesses, an UFO was observed approximately 2 hours(!), periodically disappearing and appearing, changing the location on 200 and more than meters. Talked, that someone wanted to take a camera, but not had time ))

It was in summer near 8-9 evenings.

Artillery Takes Out Landed UFO At Da Nang, RVN - Happy Valley In 1966

Date: Between February and July of 1966
Time: 2:00 - 4:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Da Nang, RVN - Happy Valley.
Number of witnesses: Unknown.
Number of Objects: Believed to be 1
Shape of Objects: Unknown.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Radar track from Danang, and Aerial observer. Taken out by Artillery fire. More info if you are interested. Did not get any TDA following the counter fire.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, I am guessing you are in British Columbia, or the Pacific Northwest. Quite a bit out of my normal travel area. Anyway, it is still good to hear from you and to learn of your organization.

I was in the US Marine Corps, and served in the SE Asia area during 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, and 1969.

It was during my 1965-66 tour that we were located to the northeast of Da Nang, and I was in an Artillery Fire Direction Center (FDC).

We controlled close to 100 Field Artillery pieces in the Da Nang area, and could bring about 500 rounds onto one football field sized spot in about 3 minutes.

I have had some injuries from auto crashes since then and do not remember just when the incident occurred, but it was between February and July of 1966.

I was on the late night shift and we got a call from the air base that a UFO had come in and landed at a set of coordinates generated by the GCA Radar. These plotted out in an area that we referred to as "Happy Valley."

The IFF response had been un heeded and the radar and visual tracking from an airborne craft in the area did not match any known aircraft. Since we were close to the DMZ, no one wanted to take any chances and we were given clearance to fire all available artillery on it.

We had about 70+ pieces that could range the target so we plotted a time on target mission and fired 6 rounds per piece on the target.

The GCA radar kept watch on the area and the observer stayed a safe distance out of the lines of fire. We got the usual artillery bursts and at the end of the barrage there was a huge flash that registered on the GCA radar.

The air observer reported that nothing had left the area, and it was too dark to look for damage until sunup. We filed the fire mission request and record of fire with the other log sheets and had been advised that a ground crew was going in for TDA at first light.

When we came on shift 2 days later we looked for the record of fire sheet to see what the ground crew had found.

We were amazed to find that the entire set of records for that mission had vanished. No one would admit to being told to pull it and we never did find out what we had hit other than the initial comments that had come back to us while we were firing on the target.

I still have no clue what we shot. It was big and got a lot of people excited. No other sightings were reported in our area that I heard about before I left in August of 1966.

This has always been a puzzling experience, wandering around in the back of my mind. I have often wondered if we had in deed taken out an extraterrestrial space craft, and how badly we had irritated whom ever it belonged to.

Sorry I don't have more or better descriptive information on the craft or the post attack findings.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell this story. I would be interested in hearing about any thing that may have been found out about this incident as it has been bothering me for over 40 years now.

Thanks, and best wishes to you.

My many thanks to this gentleman for sending in this amazing report.

If anyone has witnessed the UFO/Object, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Southwest Scotland Hit In The Chest By A UFO (Wrinkled Skin Beings)

Posted: April 5, 2009

Date: N/A
Time: 3:30 p.m.

I was ten years old, I was walking alone coming home from school in a remote part of S.W. Scotland around 3.30 in the afternoon. I looked towards the hills where I saw an orange light. I watched it and slowly realized that it was going to hit me. Before it collided with me I saw it resembled a teardrop composed of many different smaller teardrops of yellow, orange and red colours. It hit me in the chest and I passed out.

Later my brother found me unconscious on the grass verge of the road. My parents believed my story and took me to hospital where I was given an EEG. This showed high alpha wave activity in my brain. I remember being inside a small room with an old man with very wrinkled skin. Since then I have seen UFOs on three further occasions but no contact. Once I watched something overhead on a beach in Crete with two friends. We 'lost' time and were sunburned afterwards.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Sanctury Cove, Goldcoast, Queensland 30 To 40 Lights In A Circular Formation

Posted: April 1, 2009

Date: March 13, 2009
Time: 7:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Sanctury Cove, Goldcoast, Queensland.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 30-40
Shape of Objects: Bright circle lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Me and my dad just dropped my girlfriend off home, and we were driving down Santa Barbra road. The sky was cloudy and had an orange ting in the clouds and me and my dad thought we saw some bats fly over street light, we both said they looked far too big to be bats and then we saw these lights just appear in the sky, spiraling around in a circular formation like a light show, a really big light show. My dad drove really slow around the round-abouts just to see them. the area they were covering was far too big to be the Friday night football, and the football was in Brisbane that night. Then, in 3 seconds, all the clouds were vacuumed away, into the distance heading west with the lights, it was amazing, it was like a vacuum cleaner sucking a fog like substance out of a jar, and then they were still in the distance for around another 10 minutes as me and my dad were driving down Helensvale drive to go home, me and my dad were so freaked out, but yet amazed by that. No sound was heard.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Dagenham, Essex, England. UK Bright Light In Formation

Posted: February 18, 2009

Date: January 7, 2009
Time: 19:30/21:30

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: Nine then two real low then nine
Shape of objects: Oval/round
Weather Conditions: Very clear unusually bright

Description: Was out my back garden admiring what a clear night it was when I saw nine bright lights fly over, no noise, in formation. I couldn't believe what I saw I told my wife when I went out half hour later only to see 2 light well low, they flew over my house but this time my wife saw them. One flew around the other light changing direction in a way that our craft don't. I sat out the back garden for a while probably an hour then I couldn't believe it I saw the same nine lights glide over, I got to be honest I was well rattled. I had watched shows on ufos but never thought I would see them, I decided that I did not want to look anymore I had seen enough to know that if I saw this then surely some one else saw them, the next day in the news was the story of the ufo hitting a wind turbine I reported it to Sky News who sent me a reply with a case number so someone else took it serious.

TV/Radio: Sky News

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

Hi John, I've seen these lanterns before and it was not them sir. I wish it was I'm used to seeing planes fly over, what I saw that night will stay with me for the rest of my life. The lights were low on the second sighting, low enough to know, not just that it was the pattern in which they moved especially the second sighting. It would be easy to say they were something like birds or balloons, but I can assure you John these things were odd, very odd, I'm beginning to wonder just whose planet this is. 3 sightings in 2 hours, come on guys I served in the forces and they never taught me to recognise crafts like these,,,,regards John.
