“Open The Pit” (Available now!)

A very Canadian and very metal folk-horror.

Book cover. M.J. Leclair presents Open The Pit. An image of a hand drawn deer skull with red glowing eyes and antlers in grey with long matted fur around their neck. A Mock concert poster at the bottom with the dates August 2 to 3 and a list of fictional band names.

A heavy metal music festival held at a cursed mine in the middle of the Northern Canadian wilderness sounded like the perfect way to spend an August long-weekend to Jack Fiddler, drummer for the headlining act and experienced stage technician, and his childhood friend Sarah Medley, tour manager and concert promoter.

After all, the curse never caused them any issues throwing bush parties at the mine back in high school. It’s all just superstitious locals and morality tales passed down after the atrocities committed there when the town was founded. That is, until the curse is breathing down their necks.

About the Author

I go by MJ these days.

A Canadian author and quiet eccentric writing the stories I want to read.  I’ve found a way to mix my time as a musician and love of music, with my love of horror, folklore, and over the top Drive-In movies.
