about this book: A Myth to the Night is a story about a phantom, named Hugh, who is haunting an island that serves as the campus of an elite university. When several students disappear he is blamed. However, Hugh is innocent.

Hugh befriends another student on the island and together they try to uncover the truth about the missing students. The journey leads them to discover the corruption not only within the school but among the powers that control society.

A Myth to the Night is a contemporary YA Fantasy but includes many motifs found in ancient myths and legends. I had originally planned for it to be a graphic novel but found that the drawings couldn't express the deeper emotions that were the essence of my characters -- the narrator especially.

I wrote the original story in five parts and decided to publish it that way. The first part is offered for free on Amazon. If you're a visual person, I suggest checking out some of the drawings that I did for the story on Facebook and the website: www.staurosisland.com.

As for the title, well, I'm a huge fan of Novalis' Hymns to the Night. The title was in homage to Novalis and German Romanticism.
