Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor Eric Miller, who wrote Syfy creature features Ice Spiders and Swamp Shark, has released his very first novel, Whatever Happened to Uncle Ed?.
Horror mixes with action, dark humor, and basketball in the novel from Big Time Books, which “uncovers the tortured pasts of a man and his misfit team as they fight in violent magical games to end a generational evil.” Whatever Happened to Uncle Ed? is available now.

Big Time previews, “Themes of family duty, teamwork, and the obsession to win are explored as the relentless hero and demonic villain head for a thrilling showdown at the final buzzer.”
In the novel, “When his mysterious Uncle Edward disappears, former high school basketball star Max Brown inherits a fortune in cash, a creepy mansion, and a family curse. He discovers a mind-bending arena under the house, where he and his feuding allies battle shapeshifting demons to free people trapped in the cavern of horrors. But there are more than just lives at stake in the violent contests—the losers forfeit their very souls.
“Max is driven to the edge of madness by playing increasingly deadly games, the lingering pain of losing his mother years before, and the mind-numbing terrors of falling in love.
“He and his team will risk everything to end the curse and solve the mystery that haunts him most: Whatever Happened to Uncle Ed?”
Big Time Books’ titles include the Stoker-nominated anthology Hell Comes To Hollywood, and the trucking-themed 18 Wheels Of Horror and 18 Wheels Of Science Fiction.
