Blue Dasher Press is thrilled to announce the release of Make It 'til Dawn, a new short horror story by bestselling author Wren Valentino. This unique tale seamlessly blends horror, comedy, and romance into a single thrilling plot, offering readers an unforgettable experience filled with chills, laughs, and heartwarming moments.

At the heart of Make It 'til Dawn is the growing romance between two college-aged men, an element rarely explored in the horror genre. When Andrew accepts a dare to spend the night in an abandoned house to prove his bravery, Charles, a handsome parapsychology student, joins him—both intrigued by the supernatural folklore surrounding the house and eager to finally ask Andrew out. However, as the night unfolds, the two young men realize they’re not alone. Paranormal forces within the house, known to locals as Ghost Toast, are determined to prevent them from seeing the morning light.

“I wanted to write a horror story that not only delivers spine-tingling moments but also challenges the genre’s conventions,” says Wren Valentino. “Horror and romance don’t have to be separate entities, and I thought it was time to showcase a love story between two young men in a setting where they are rarely seen. Make It 'til Dawn is as much about finding courage—both in the face of supernatural terror and in confessing one’s feelings—as it is about surviving the night.”

Available exclusively in Kindle Unlimited edition, Make It 'til Dawn is perfect for readers who love stories that break the mold while delivering all the thrills and heart-stopping moments of classic horror. If you’re looking for a fresh take on the genre with a dash of romance and humor, this is one you won’t want to miss.

Blue Dasher Press Announces the Release of Accidents Never Happen by Bestselling Author Wren Valentino

Blue Dasher Press is proud to announce the highly anticipated release of Accidents Never Happen, the latest novel by bestselling author Wren Valentino. With his trademark blend of raw emotion and taut suspense, Valentino delivers a gripping story of unexpected connections, complicated desires, and the haunting consequences of choices made in the heat of the moment.

Accidents Never Happen introduces us to Albert, a Puerto Rican amateur cruiserweight whose marriage has become a shell of what it once was. His wife can't even stand the sight of him, and he’s left to navigate the loneliness and turmoil of a fractured relationship. Enter Joey, a college sophomore who is dealing with the traumatic loss of his parents—an event that he feels responsible for, after he allegedly bled the brakes of their car, sending them off a cliff.

When Albert and Joey’s broken worlds collide beneath the shadow of a train track on a street in Chicago, a fierce and undeniable attraction simmers between them. Their desire is immediate and powerful, but when they give in to it, the consequences are catastrophic. A simple moment of passion triggers a chain reaction that spirals into murder, tragedy, and a series of events neither man could have ever imagined.

In a world where desire often defies the rules of identity, Valentino’s novel captures the complexities of human longing and the unpredictable paths it can lead us down.

“I wanted to explore how desire sometimes knows no gender, no boundaries—how it can exist in the most unlikely of places, between people who, on paper, couldn’t be more different,” says Wren Valentino in a statement about the writing process. “It’s a force that can be both redemptive and destructive, and Accidents Never Happen is a meditation on how those moments of desire can set off a chain of events that change everything.”

The novel is a haunting and thought-provoking tale of love, loss, and the way fate can twist and turn with the smallest of decisions. With vivid characters and a plot that is as relentless as it is unpredictable, Accidents Never Happen is a must-read for fans of contemporary fiction that pushes the boundaries of desire, identity, and consequence.

Accidents Never Happen is now available for purchase in a Kindle Unlimited edition.
