Vesuvius.

“From its highly original premise to its deliciously isolated
setting, Gregory Bastianelli’s SHADOW FLICKER hooked me and kept me
squirming until the very last page. An entertaining and emotional
read. I had a blast!”
*Jonathan Janz, Author of THE SIREN AND THE SPECTER and THE
RAVEN*
"This is a gripping horror story from an author who deserves a
wider audience."
*Booklist*
