The Old Mayor’s Mansion sits just a few miles outside the town of Cemetery.

Armed with a slew of new equipment, the buddies set out to capture the paranormal hotspot that will make them famous—just maybe not in the way they were hoping.

A Novelette 

BestGhost

Stephen King has Castle Rock. Josh Malerman has Goblin. E. Reyes has Devil’s Hill. Now C. J. Daley welcomes you to Cemetery.

A strange town with a strange name, Cemetery, NY is filled with crime and secrets.

When a car accident one fateful night leads to a search for two missing bodies, detectives Abby Williams – an almost-thirty year old with something to prove – and Ed Reyes – a jaded, senior officer with a career as long as his partner is old – set out to solve the latest mystery.

Before long, a string of missing persons becomes a collection of bloodless bodies that has even the police pathologist stumped.

As the bloodshed continues, it becomes clear that the gruesome killings plaguing the town of Cemetery may not be the handiwork of some shadowy figure but of something even more sinister.

As detectives Williams and Reyes start to question the world around them, can they learn to put their differences aside? Or will the investigation of a lifetime be the end of their lives?

In this fast-paced small town horror, nothing is as it seems.


“Beneath a web of lies and secrets, exists a small town plagued by masked figures and a growing body count. Daley shoves the reader headfirst into a nightmarish investigation where the deeper you dig, the more you realize some stories should stay buried. Welcome to Cemetery.”
—Nick Roberts, best-selling author of MEAN SPIRITED and THE EXORCIST’S HOUSE

The Cemetery Collection #1

Welcome to Cemetery 

Detectives Williams and Ed Reyes are back.

This holiday season, the town of Cemetery is getting just a little bit stranger.

When a 911 call leads to a decapitated family and one hastily scrawled, bloody message, the duo will stop at nothing to arrest this latest killer.

But when the only witness is claiming Santa Claus is the killer, and the only evidence leads to a supposedly dead patient, they’re left scrambling.

Will they beat the odds and be home for Christmas dinner?

Welcome to Cemetery meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this yuletide tale of revenge, justice and tinsel-themed references. A dark, humorous, seasonal read.
