Devil Makes Three

Three Novellas of Horror

By: Richard Beauchamp

Narrated by: Richard Beauchamp

Randol Scroggins is a man trying to get out from the shadow of his past. Fleeing from the Mississippi lowlands to the foothills of Madison County, he’s trying his best to start over. But darkness comes in many forms, and Randol is about to find out how hungry it can be…

Deep in the Missouri Ozarks lies the seemingly bucolic town of Buck’s Point, which disgraced union colonel Arnold Mayhew has been tasked with occupying to help clear the way for the railroad. It soon becomes clear however, that there is a good reason why no army holds sway here…

Arkansas State Police detective Arden Colefield was born with a special gift, though if you ask him, it’s more of a curse. Dispatched to northwest Arkansas to investigate a string of strange kidnappings, Arden must rely on every shred of cop instinct, plus his extrasensory perceptions, to uncover a horrifying conspiracy that goes beyond not just the limits of the law, but time and space itself...

Three stories. Three unique locales bound only by the ancient mountains that stretch across state lines.

Critic reviews

“With a unique style all his own, Richard Beauchamp is a name that should most definitely be on the radar of any folk horror fan.” - Tony Evans, author of Wicked Appalachia and Sour

"A trio of fantastically deep, dark fear-inducing stories. Beauchamp touches on extremely uncomfortable yet important historical social issues while sending shivers down spines. Cerebral but engaging. As I've heard authors like Brian Keene and Joe Hill say about other up and coming horror authors, 'this guy's got chops!'" - Joshua Loyd Fox, author of In the Shadows They Wait, I Won't Be Shaken, The ArchAngel Missions and owner of Watertower Hill Publishing.

Was Good

All three stories kept my attention. I finished in two days. Usually with multiple stories in a book you get some you like and others not so much. But I truly enjoyed all three and would recommend it to others. It’s definitely worth a credit. This is my first book by this author i have read and will keep eye out for more of his work. He also did a great job of narrating his own book. I liked his accent, it fits perfectly with the stories.

amazing stories

author and narrator did amazing jobs with these books.

Some very creepy folk horror ...

This book contains 3 very creepy, independent novellas all based in the Ozarks and all about 130 pages in length.
All very easy to read in one sitting, good story telling with interesting and engaging characters. My favorite was The Ravenous Dark but I really enjoyed them all.
I would recommend to all fans of horror. I listened to the audio book while reading along to the kindle.
I will read more by this author.
