Two new works of Houdini fiction

The centenary books keep coming! Here are two new independently published works for fans of Houdini fiction. 

First up is Hunting Houdini's Ghost by Janson Davies, about a Houdini séance gone wrong. Let's be careful out there!
Harry Houdini escaped every prison built to hold him. Death was supposed to be the exception.

One hundred years after his final performance, fraudulent medium Cassie Sparkowski attempts a livestreamed séance—and accidentally brings Houdini back. But he is not alone. Behind him waits an endless darkness filled with the restless dead…and something far worse. As Houdini unlocks door after door between worlds, ghosts begin returning to the people and places they left behind. Some come home in love. Some come hunting for vengeance. All of them carry a piece of the darkness with them.

Now Cassie and FBI agent Bradford Carter must stop the greatest escape artist who ever lived before he completes his final act: opening the door that can never be closed.

You can purchase Hunting Houdini's Ghost at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

The next is I Am Houdini by Michal Sher'ril Knox. This one runs 77 pages. Description below.
I Am Houdini brings that man to life once more, just in time for the 100th anniversary of his death on Halloween 2026. I Am Houdini is a fictionalized historical drama inspired by the life, words, relationships, performances, investigations, and final years of Harry Houdini. Historical material and Houdini's own words are woven together with imagined conversations and scenes to tell the story not simply of the Great Houdini, but of Erich Weiss—the man behind the legend.

This isn't just the story of Houdini's escapes.

It's the story of Harry, a man whose dramatic flair for life, determination, and relentless curiosity may inspire you to find your own way through life's impossible challenges and say:

“I Am Houdini.”

You can purchase I Am Houdini in hardcover or paperback at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
