Bernard Books announced today that Young Adult Author Rebecca Ethington has captured the craving for horror with her teen thriller Through Glass, a heart pounding scarey story about teen Alexis who finds herself locked alone in her house when death and destruction hit the outside world. She finds comfort in next door neighbor Cohen but can only communicate with him through glass.

With Halloween around the corner, many readers are looking for just the right book to send them shivering under the covers. The fascination in spooky books spikes during October and The Horror Writers Association explains that as children, we might be afraid of the shadows looming from a half-closed closet door or of the monster we believe lies under the bed. Terrors of the imagination run wild at that age. As we age however, horror by nature gives us a personal touch - an intrusion into our comfort levels. It speaks of the human condition and forcibly reminds us of how little we actually know and understand.

Excerpt From Through Glass
"Everyone remembered the day the sky went black. The day the sun was wiped from the sky. They remember the wind as it brought in the darkness; the way the earth shook and everything changed. Everyone remembered the screams as the darkness ate those who were out in the open, those who had surrounded themselves by light, and those who made noise. Everyone remembered the voice from the sky and the way food disappeared. At least, that's what I hoped. I hoped that there was an 'everyone' that would remember because I am not sure how many are left, how many survived. Or if anyone did. I hoped that I wasn't alone. I remembered that day. I remembered because it was the day I became alone. It was the day that everything was perfect until the monsters took it away. Then the house went silent and the birds stopped singing. It was the day when everyone disappeared, everyone except the boy, the only person I have seen in two years. The boy I talk to through the glass." Through Glass is available online at amazon.com and where most books are sold.
