House of the Screaming Clowns New! The newest terrifying nightmare from Fright Queen Andrea D'Allasandra. Read the latest thriller from best-selling Andrea D'Allasandra, a terrifying journey into madness, "House of the Screaming Clowns." Set against the foggy Blue Ridge Mountains, the story races at hurricane speed as staff and patients in the Old Saunders Place try to escape the demonic tricks of the horrifying Benji. Scarred by fire, wearing a hideous metal plate in his mouth of steel and shards of glass and iron, this demon is determined to make all the violent patients resemble him. As patients and staff begin to vanish, the remaining survivors are trapped by a winter's blizzard. While they wait, Benji prepares to sacrifice them all! The following interview was published in the East Carolina newspaper April 6, 2006: ECU graduate pens 15th book 'House of the Screaming Clowns' Sarah Campbell, Staff Writer April 06, 2006 One of ECU's many claims to fame is that their graduates have gone on to accomplish amazing feats. From acting to nursing to writing, ECU produces highly successful graduates. Jery Tillotson is one of these graduates. After graduating from ECU in 1965, Tillotson began working in the field of journalism as a reporter and entertainment editor for the Associated Press, the Wilmington Star News and the Montgomery Advertiser. Fifteen years later, he moved to New York to pursue a career in writing and has remained there ever since. On March 27, his latest book, "House of the Screaming Clowns," was published and became his 15th published novel to date. Tillotson writes under several pen names including Andrea D'Allasandra and Jason Fury. His latest novel was written under the pen name of Andrea D'Allasandra because of its grisly terror-filled plot. "The House of Screaming Clowns" is set around the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina as many of his other petrifying novels are. The plot is based around a clown who haunts a mental hospital forcing patients and staff alike to resemble him. Taking that idea and letting your imagination run wild will give you some idea of what this book is like and why you should read what the mind of an ECU graduate can come up with. Published in 2004, Tillotson's best-selling memoirs, "Nights of Fury," recall his days as an ECU student. In it he describes how his life has been guided from that of a southern boy to a New Yorker. Despite the fact that he's lived in New York for over 30 years now, his heart will forever belong in North Carolina. In late summer or fall he plans to move back to where his heart is in N.C. "I've had New York. I'm ready to return to God's country," said Tillotson in a recent press release. Tillotson's novels are available online at amazon.com and at book retailers across the country. * * * ECU graduate pens 15th |
