Cross The County Line, Crystal Lake Entertainment Presents The Medusa Psalms by Kyle Toucher
Last Friday, Crystal Lake Entertainment released Kyle Toucher’s horror masterpiece, The Medusa Psalms: Welcome to Walpurgis County. Toucher is the former frontman for the band Dr. Know and an Emmy-award-winning visual effects artist—he’s won eight awards, two of which were for his work on Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. He is the author of the novel Live Wire and the novella Life Returns.
In his new fiction collection, Toucher invites you on a chilling journey through ten stories and two novellas that unveil the grim history and malevolent folklore of America’s most cursed terrain. From haunted mountains to deranged cults. From cosmic horrors to ancestral vendettas, each tale plunges you deeper into a realm where monsters roam freely and secrets fester in the blood-soaked soil.
In this collection, exorcists battle ancient evils, time bends and distorts reality, and the unsuspecting collide with the macabre. Meet a father consumed by grief and vengeance, a woman trapped in a temporal abyss. And a conspiracy theorist facing an occult agenda that threatens humanity’s very existence. Encounter witches burning from within, possessed souls seeking revenge, and hybrids born of unholy alliances.
The Medusa Psalms: Welcome to Walpurgis County by Kyle Toucher
The Medusa Psalms: Welcome to Walpurgis County is a symphony of horror, suspense, and the supernatural, weaving together tales of haunted houses, demonic possessions, and cosmic conspiracies. With echoes of alternative history and the looming specter of a new world order. Toucher’s dark imagination transforms everyday landscapes into battlegrounds of madness and despair.
The Medusa Psalms has received high praise from writers and reviewers alike. Here’s what Horror Reads had to say about the book: “Walpurgis County is the setting for this fantastic collection. Which seamlessly incorporates small town horror, an anthology like narrative, yet the whole is connected and cohesive, with terrifying weirdness. The author has created a world that you’ll want to visit again and again. A goosebump inducing nightmare landscape filled with all the things I love in a horror novel. I highly recommend it!”
Embrace the terror that lurks beneath the surface of Walpurgis County. Dare to cross the county line and immerse yourself in a world where nightmares are reality and survival means confronting the darkest corners of the human soul.
The Medusa Psalms is available in paperback (978-1-964398-11-2) and on Amazon Kindle (B0DCG7R9C9).
