Newest Release

Camp Lanier:

At Camp Lanier, the horror is no ghost story.


Taylor Johnson didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

When she’s caught shoplifting with her wealthy white ​friends, she’s the one who takes the fall. Her only way out? ​Agreeing to work in a community service program that ​takes at-risk youth and employs them at Camp Lanier for ​the summer.


Taylor’s heard the rumors about Camp Lanier.

Everyone has.

Urban legends say that an all Black town was forced out to ​create the lake, and it has been cursed ever since.

Taylor’s too old to believe in ghost stories.

But if the ghosts aren’t real, why is she the only one who can ​hear someone crying at night? Why are kids disappearing? ​And the whispers of a serial killer named the Atlanta Ripper ​stalking the woods… that can’t be real, can it?

None of it makes sense.


Kids have been “running away” from Camp Lanier for the ​last 52 years, and Taylor wants to find out why – even if it ​means swimming to the bottom of the lake and finding out ​what’s really down there.

Newest Release

Young Blood:

Desperate to keep her sister safe in a post-apocalyptic NYC, ​Raven joins a covert military unit dedicated to eradicating ​the vampires that terrorize the city. Her life will be brutal – ​early morning workouts, grueling weapons training, and a ​deadly showdown with the bloodthirsty vampire who rules ​from the city’s shadows.


But even her new military family is far from safe.


Whispers of a traitor spread and their knife might be angled ​at Raven’s back.

Meet The Author

My name is Sylvester Barzey, and I am a best-selling author of horror and ​fantasy. Born and raised in the Bronx, NY, I spent some time living in the ​smallest state in the country before settling in Bethlehem, GA. As a military ​veteran with an insatiable passion for all things horror, my primary goal is ​to shine a spotlight on BIPOC characters within the horror and fantasy ​genres.

From a young age, I was captivated by horror movies, especially slashers. ​The "Final Girl" trope fascinated me—the idea of someone overcoming ​insurmountable odds to emerge as the ultimate survivor deeply resonated ​with me. However, it took time to realize that these survivors were ​predominantly white.

Through my writing, I aim to diversify the landscape of horror and fantasy, ​bringing more representation and nuanced stories to the forefront.


Seeing only one type of person rise as a survivor builds barriers in people's minds, leading ​them to believe that resilience is exclusive to one race. This is far from the truth. The ​Black community, especially Black women, have survival ingrained in their DNA. History ​has demonstrated time and again that overcoming great odds is something Black people ​have always done.


When I couldn't find the final girls I was looking for—though there are some incredible ​ones out there—I set out to create them myself. My stories aim to reflect the true diversity ​of strength and survival.
