Rami Ungar The Writer

I can’t believe I missed this milestone! I know I was busy, but man, there’s no excuse.

Anyway, to be precise, Rose was originally released two years ago yesterday. For those of you who don’t know, Rose is my most popular novel, and the first I published with an actual publisher. The novel follows a young woman, Rose Taggert, who turns into a plant/human hybrid. And that’s just the start of her problems! It’s Kafkaesque, full of Japanese mythology, and is plenty creepy.

Here’s the back cover matter:

Rose Taggert awakens in a greenhouse with no clear memory of the past two years and, to her horror, finds her body transformed into an unrecognizable form.

Paris Kuyper has convinced Rose that they are lovers and as Paris could not bear for her to die, he has used an ancient and dark magic to save her from certain death.

But the dark magic Paris has used comes at a price. A price which a terrible demon is determined to extract from Rose.

As Rose struggles to understand what is happening to her, she must navigate Paris’s lies and secrets; secrets that Paris will do anything to protect.

Not bad, right? And let me tell you, plenty of people have come to enjoy the book in that time. Here are the reviews:

Loved the premise and all of the descriptions of turning into a plant creature, as well as several other body horror scenes, were disturbing in the best way. I also liked the psychological horror of the story and was often at the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next…Overall, a solid horror story! I feel the strong beginning and surprising and intense ending made this a great horror experience and a book I would definitely recommend.

Emma, Amazon reviewer

One of the most original stories that I have read in quite some time. Rose is a tale that is hard to categorize; part horror, part urban fantasy, but entertaining from start to finish. This was my first time reading Rami Ungar, but it will not be my last.

John Watson, author of “Bloody Mary” and “Salem”

In this work, Rami Ungar paints a captivating picture of Japanese folklore and magic, which serves as a backdrop for a story about captivity, manipulation, and possession! His narrative style also captures the dread and claustrophobia of being a captive, not to mention the twisted pathology of the captor! Scary stuff, and all the while you’re rooting for the bad guys to get their just desserts!

Matthew Williams, author of The Cronian Incident

And these are only a small fraction of reviews Rose has received. As I said, it’s my most popular novel. And I’m hoping in the coming year that it’ll continue to grow in popularity and readership. Hell, I got to give a copy to an author I greatly admire at Stoker Con, so maybe she’ll tweet about it or something.

And if she doesn’t, oh well. Rose is constantly finding its way into the hands of readers, and they usually become fans. Some even leave reviews online, which is great because it lets me know other what they think and encourages other readers to check out the book.

Speaking of which, if you would like to check out Rose, I’ll include links below. You can get it in paperback, ebook, and audio formats. And if you do get a copy and read it, please leave a review online. Like I said, they help me and other readers out, and I would love to see what you think.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I may have missed the four-year anniversary, but I’ll be sure to do something big for the five-year anniversary. And in the meantime, you know I’ll be working like a demon to accomplish my writing goals.

Until next time, my Followers of Fear. Good night and pleasant nightmares!
