Woodbridge Publishers Releases New Supernatural Horror Series 'Veil of the Malefic – The Infernal Awakening'

Woodbridge Publishers has announced the release of Veil of the Malefic – The Infernal Awakening, the inaugural book in a new supernatural horror series by author Jonas Ethan Harris. The novel represents a significant addition to the horror genre, blending multiple literary traditions into a cohesive narrative that explores both supernatural terror and contemporary social issues.

The book combines gothic horror elements with psychological suspense and small-town mystery, creating a multi-layered narrative that examines themes of prophecy, vengeance, and the limits of human psychology. At the center of the story is Damon, a bullied and isolated teenager whose nightmares begin to manifest in reality, triggering a demonic awakening that threatens both his community and the fundamental boundaries of sanity. This premise allows Harris to explore the psychological impact of bullying and social isolation through a supernatural lens.

Law enforcement characters Sheriff Max Sanderson and his mysterious deputy Samuel become involved in investigating a series of horrifying crimes, uncovering secrets that have remained buried for generations. The narrative introduces Lucius Azazel as a central antagonist, described as both captivating and malevolent, adding complexity to the supernatural threat facing the characters.

Author Jonas Ethan Harris brings a unique perspective to the horror genre as a scientist-turned-writer currently based in China. His background informs the novel's approach to horror, drawing from his appreciation for slasher horror, psychological thrillers, and supernatural fiction. The book aims to function not only as entertainment but as social commentary, examining the darker aspects of human nature and societal breakdown through its horror framework.

The novel's tagline, "They say nightmares aren't real. Damon is living proof they are," encapsulates the central conflict between reality and supernatural terror that drives the narrative. The book is available in multiple formats including paperback, hardback, and eBook, with distinct ISBN numbers for each version: 978-1-918130-16-4 for paperback, 978-1-918130-17-1 for hardback, and 978-1-918130-18-8 for the eBook edition. Readers can purchase the book through major online retailers including Amazon.

For the publishing industry, the release represents continued investment in horror fiction, particularly series that blend traditional genre elements with contemporary social themes. The combination of psychological depth with supernatural horror may appeal to readers seeking more substantive horror fiction that addresses real-world issues through metaphorical storytelling. Harris's scientific background and international perspective could bring fresh approaches to a genre that continues to evolve beyond traditional tropes.
