The uneasy notion that reality itself is not only relative but indeed elastic- is the hallmark of Greene’s writing. Suspense, irony, and outrageously surreal circumstances test the characters who populate his work, taking them and the reader on a grandly bizarre journey into the furthest realms of darkness. Literary influences range from Poe to Clive Barker to John Keel to a certain best selling Bangorian. These elements flavor his screenplays and fiction works, often leading to strange and unexpected detours designed to keep viewers and readers on their toes.

His odd interests have led to pursuits in film acting, paranormal investigation, martial arts, quantum physics, bizarre folklore and eastern philosophy. Some dark serendipity plopped a young Patrick Greene in front of a series of ever stranger films-and experiences-in his formative years, leading to a unique viewpoint. Whatever is happening to this town, they’re going to make it through this Halloween. And one very odd boy is kept locked in a shed by his family-for reasons too horrible to imagine. One newly sober singer with the voice of a fallen angel is tempted to make a deal that will seal his fate. Others are beginning to wonder if they’re losing their minds, or maybe their souls. Some of the citizens are experiencing dark, disturbing visions. Parents stock up on candy and prepare for the town’s celebrated Pumpkin Parade. Children scramble to create the creepiest, scariest costumes. Truckloads of pumpkins are sent off to be carved into lanterns.

In the epic tradition of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Jonathan Maberry, a chilling new masterwork of small-town evil, centuries-old traditions, and newly-risen terror…Įvery year at harvest time, something strange and wonderful happens in the sleepy farm community of Ember Hollow.
