Chapter Break with DJ Slater
BIO:
DJ Slater is a Milwaukee native with a love for sharing stories. He wrote his first in third grade followed by several more during his school years, mostly about dinosaurs and an ambitious detective. His passion for writing took him on an appropriate career path – journalism, magazines and marketing. He has a BA in Journalism and History from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
When not writing, he loves acting, singing, movies, his family, friends and (not surprisingly) haunted house attractions. A special shoutout to his late Grandma Barb, who told him to write his stories down.
SYNOPSIS:
Soon-to-be college graduate Seth McCartney finds his love for his favorite October pastime – visiting haunted house attractions – fading. His best friend and fellow horror enthusiast, Peyton Fischer, has already moved on from this tradition and wants to help Seth do the same, but not without one final hurrah. He suggests they find a fabled, traveling haunted house attraction that’s said to be too extreme and scary to finish.
Intrigued, Seth and his friends follow a lead to the elusive haunt’s doorstep. But there’s a reason this locale has a frightening reputation, especially when its hallways contain the depths of true terror.
