Dark Veil Society announces the release of Jan’s newest entry in the Hartmouth Horrors series, The Devil in Mia—a brutally irreverent, sharply written novella steeped in domestic dread and demonic meddling.

Set in the bleak orbit of the Smith family, the story follows Matt, a self-absorbed drunk stumbling through a failing marriage, and his wife, who has attracted far more than misfortune. When an unexpected and unwelcome presence takes root in their home, the situation spirals toward lethal territory. Matt, forced to confront the chaos he helped create, discovers that the demons he faces are both supernatural and self-inflicted. Whether he can rise to the challenge—or collapse under the weight of his own failings—drives the story toward a vicious, darkly comic conclusion.

Jan delivers a lean, vicious tale, written with the directness, humor, and smooth flow readers have come to expect from his work. As book two in the Hartmouth Horrors standalone novella series, The Devil in Mia expands the twisted, small-town mythology with a fresh dose of nastiness.

Early readers are already praising the novella:

I physically could not tear myself away from this book.
~ Sara R. New

… it has one of the creepiest prologues I think I’ve ever read. A cracking novella.
~ Huw Langridge

Born and raised in Plymouth, England, Jan is a father, husband, and former poet whose writing blends wit, bite, and unsettling atmosphere into a distinctive narrative voice.

The Devil in Mia is available now on Amazon in eBook and paperback formats.
