You may have spotted that throughout the site, the Jen Rasmussen pen name isn’t quite next to the others. If you’ve found this page as a reader of my other pen names, be warned that this one is for the kind of supernatural fantasy I like to call “dark snark.”
There’s still plenty of humor, and no spice. But Miss Trinket in particular uses enough four-letter words to make a sailor clutch his pearls. There is the occasional spot of blood or severance of a minor appendage. And some readers have described certain scenes as frightening.
The Adventures of Lydia Trinket
Ghost in the Canteen
Homicidal toddlers, demon serial killers, handsome dead guys. Not to mention the PTA. Lydia Trinket has a few challenges, but she’s got it all (mostly) under control. Until she goes to banish a poltergeist, and he banishes her instead.
Then Lydia is trapped in a netherworld with all the spirits she’s sent there, and her long career as a ghost hunter looks a lot less successful from this side. She’s surrounded by enemies in a constantly shifting landscape of dangers, where the whims of the dead outrank the laws of reality.
Survival would be good. Escape would be better. But Lydia is about to discover that there’s no such thing as home free.
Peak of the Devil
Lydia Trinket thought she was free of the netherworld and the ghosts she left behind. Turns out she was only half right.
Now those ghosts are back in the real world, with new plans, new powers, and old grudges. When it becomes clear that possessing teenage girls and stealing human hearts is only the beginning, it falls to Lydia to hunt down the malevolent spirits and banish them for good. Preferably before anyone else gets killed.
A task she would almost certainly be up to, if one of them hadn’t made a deal with the devil.
Crook of the Dead
Lydia Trinket knew it wasn’t over between her and the devil of Bristol. She knew he would draw her into another deadly game. What she didn’t know was that she’d be forced to bet the souls she holds most dear.
But when she’s once again tossed into a maelstrom of intrigue and betrayal, conniving witches and horrifying monsters, this time her loved ones are dragged under with her. And as the clock winds down on a plot to commit mass murder, Lydia struggles for more than just life and death.
For the losers of this game, death is only the first and the least of their torments.
