Author The Sisters Spurlock’s New Audiobook, “The Ghost Comes Out,” Explores a Series of Events That Leads to a Small Tennessee Town Being Torn Apart During the Mid-1900s
[ad_1]
“Grayton, a small fictional town community in western Tennessee, in 1964, is unaware of the civil rights movement taking place across the nation,” writes The Sisters Spurlock. “It all begins with the Scholl family, as the oldest girl, Rosie, sets up a summer school and invites others to join. There are eight students all told, including two African Americans, which prove highly unpopular with the ice cream man, racist, and KKK wannabee, Joe Puckett. While the children gather during the summer vacation, events unfold around them, including a biracial relationship, a kidnapping, the death of a loved one, and the murder of a domestic abuser.
“Situated in a time shortly after the JFK assassination, the residents of this community—with all their secrets and mysteries to hide—come alive and reveal themselves when the Ghost Comes Out is played. The town is left questioning who in their close-knit community could the ‘ghost’ be as neighbors lock their never-latched doors and question each other with distrust and fear. After the summer of ’64, no citizen in that town is ever quite the same.
“This is a moral tale in its way in which the good get their reward and the bad their punishment, but it also recognizes that good people can get caught in the crossfire and that no one is perfect.”
Published by Audiobook Network, author The Sisters Spurlock’s new audiobook takes listeners on an unforgettable thrill ride as they discover what secrets everyone is trying to hide, as the truth is slowly unraveled. Expertly paced and full of suspense, “The Ghost Comes Out” will leave listeners on the edge of their seats right up until its stunning conclusion.
Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of “The Ghost Comes Out” by The Sisters Spurlock through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.
Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook listening location in the 2019 survey. Smart speaker proliferation also bodes well for future listening growth and more mainstream listening.

Anthony V. Pugliese Expands 2020 Horror Collection in New Edition of “All Things Truly Wicked”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Anthony V. Pugliese has released a second edition of "All Things Truly Wicked," an expanded version of the horror and supernatural fiction collection he first self-published in 2020, through Newman Springs Publishing.
The new edition revises the original ten stories and adds fresh material, including seven original poems, according to the book’s listing. Stories range from a priest confronting a Mayan bat-demon in the Yucatan and an alien invasion told through a teenage outcast’s perspective to a centuries-old witch reborn via curse and an ancient, hungry entity growing in a backyard flower bed. The book draws its title from a line in Ernest Hemingway’s "A Moveable Feast."
Pugliese was raised in Steelton, Pennsylvania, and now lives in Harrisburg. He’s a former Pennsylvania National Guard member and retired Commonwealth employee who has also pursued paranormal research and co-hosts a podcast on unexplained phenomena, interests the publisher says shape the book’s sense of dread. He cites Stephen King, Dean Koontz, William Peter Blatty, and Ira Levin as influences, and has previously published in small-press magazines, anthologies, and academic journals.
The book’s description frames its recurring theme as moral erosion rather than sudden villainy: characters who begin as ordinary people are pushed, gradually, toward supernatural reckonings that accelerate a fall already underway. "These stories ask uncomfortable questions about the capacity for darkness within us all," Pugliese said in a statement. "I wanted to create narratives where readers cannot simply dismiss the characters as villains, because their descent into wickedness feels disturbingly plausible."
The publisher’s description notes that some scenes are graphic, and that the stories lean on religious and folkloric elements to ground their supernatural premises.
"All Things Truly Wicked (Second Edition)" is available through Newman Springs Publishing’s website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as at bookstores. Studio CarryOnHarry will be curious whether the added poetry and new stories meaningfully extend the 2020 original or mostly round out its edges.

STEERus Inc. has launched a free online assessment called the Digital Signal Check, intended to enable business owners to see the difference between their own company description and how AI systems summarize it for potential customers. The River Vale, New Jersey-based company is pairing the tool’s release with a free webinar on October 23.
The launch builds on the work of STEERus founder Loralyn Mears, PhD, a scientist and leadership educator who wrote the book MISINTERPRETED: The Hidden Risk Making Brands & Leaders Invisible in the Age of AI. Mears coined the term Misinterpretation Risk to describe what she argues is a growing gap between what a business says about itself and what AI systems conclude about it after pulling from websites, reviews, listings, social media and news coverage scattered across the internet.
The concern, according to the announcement, is that AI search tools don’t return lists of links the way traditional search engines do. They synthesize scattered information into a single summary or recommendation. If a company has changed its services, pivoted its market, or simply accumulated outdated listings over the years, those older signals don’t disappear on their own, and they can shape what an AI tool tells a customer without the business ever knowing it happened. "Businesses have been taught to ask, ‘Can people find me?’" Mears said in the announcement. "The more important question now may be, ‘When AI finds me, does it understand me correctly?’"
The free webinar, titled "Is AI Search Making Your Business Invisible? 5 Things Every Business Owner Needs to Do Now," runs October 23 from 2 to 3 p.m. ET and is open to business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals. Mears is set to walk through how AI-driven discovery differs from conventional search and outline five steps businesses can take on their own to clean up conflicting digital information. Mears also hosts the Small Biz Stories podcast, now in its sixth season.
STEERus isn’t alone in targeting this concern; other companies have recently introduced similar tools aimed at showing businesses how AI assistants represent their brands, suggesting the question of AI-driven misrepresentation is becoming a broader small-business concern rather than a niche one. Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether tools like this one gain real traction with small business owners or end up as a passing feature of the current AI-search moment.
