A Tall Dark Sin Delivers a Powerful Tale of Family Secrets Revenge and Ghostly Reckonings in 1950s New Orleans

Published

on

Author and screenwriter M. Anthony Phillips steps boldly into the realm of Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Horror with his riveting new novel, A Tall Dark Sin, now available on Amazon. Set against the sultry backdrop of 1957 New Orleans, this gothic drama blends ghostly secrets, social tension, and revenge into a cinematic and unforgettable journey.

New York, United States, 14th Aug 2025 – M. Anthony Phillips, acclaimed storyteller, and screenwriter, invites readers into the sultry, mysterious streets of 1950s New Orleans with his latest novel, A Tall Dark Sin. A compelling blend of Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Horror, this gripping story follows a man’s return to his hometown and father, who once cast him out. Now live on Amazon, A Tall Dark Sin delivers a masterfully told Southern Gothic drama brimming with secrets, supernatural undertones, and a protagonist driven by revenge, redemption, and a hunger for truth.

Why This Book Matters

A Tall Dark Sin isn’t just another tale of ghosts or racial tensions; it’s a vivid, haunting exploration of identity, abandonment, and the price of secrets buried too deep for too long. This genre-defying work speaks to readers of all ages and backgrounds by unpacking the trauma of familial rejection, the cost of social ambition, and the painful legacy of racism in the American South, all wrapped in an atmospheric narrative worthy of the big screen.

Set in the famed Seventh Ward of New Orleans, the story follows Dorian Lancaster, a tall, mysterious man summoned back to a past he’d long tried to outrun. Abandoned by his father, Oscar Broussard, a wealthy Creole businessman, because his skin color didn’t fit the family’s elite aspirations, Dorian returns decades later not for reconciliation but for reckoning.

Book Description

When Dorian receives a letter from the father who once forsook him, claiming to be on his deathbed, he journeys from Denver to New Orleans. What he finds is a city entangled in power plays, old grudges, and ghosts, both literal and emotional.

Oscar’s stroke has left the family empire vulnerable. Blackmailed by his old friend and rival, Auguste Dupree, and cornered by his past crimes, Oscar begs Dorian to protect what remains. But as Dorian reenters the community that never accepted him, he becomes an enigmatic force seducing powerful women, angering dangerous men, and uncovering sinister truths.

From the seductive Creole daughters of Dupree to the lurking threat of the Ku Klux Klan, Dorian walks a tightrope between justice and vengeance, unaware that New Orleans has its dark magic and not everyone who enters survives.

Why Readers Will Be Drawn In

M. Anthony Phillips crafts A Tall Dark Sin with the storytelling skill of a screenwriter and the emotional depth of a Southern gothic novelist. Phillips infuses the novel with tension, poetic grit, and a haunting atmosphere reminiscent of A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof but with a bold, Black protagonist whose journey resonates deeply with today’s readers. The book’s unique blend of science fiction & fantasy horror, historical drama, and psychological suspense sets it apart in the genre. Ghosts don’t just lurk in haunted houses; they live in memories, legacies, and broken family ties.

About the Author

M. Anthony Phillips, born in St. Louis, Missouri, is a multi-talented artist whose love for storytelling was cultivated through long nights watching classic films with his father and listening to Mystery Theater on the radio. His journey to becoming a novelist was anything but traditional. After playing college baseball and nearly turning pro, Phillips redirected his ambition toward Hollywood, studying martial arts under Bruce Lee’s former students and working across the film and TV industry.

Eventually, his creative compass led him to write. Fueled by a lifelong love of great stories and a desire to write characters who reflected his heritage and experiences, Phillips returned to St. Louis to focus on fiction. His passion for rich, emotional narratives shines through in A Tall Dark Sin, a book he describes as a “Black version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, with a touch of Streetcar.”

“I’m a passionate artist, and I want others to see themselves in my stories,” says Phillips. “I believe in gritty, fast-paced, human drama with meaning.”

Currently working on his fourth novel, Phillips hopes to inspire future generations of writers, particularly those who haven’t always seen themselves represented in classic literature or mainstream publishing.

A Message to Readers

A Tall Dark Sin is more than a novel. It’s an ode to perseverance, a love letter to vintage Southern drama, and a ghost story that reflects our most personal hauntings, family, identity, and belonging.

Whether you’re a fan of emotionally layered mysteries, supernatural intrigue, or powerful family dramas, this book delivers all of that and more.

Press Release

Beth Ryder Releases A Soul-Stirring Poetry and Short Story Collection on Trauma Survival and the Transformative Power of Truth

Published

on

In Black Ink, Beth Ryder lays bare the hidden chapters of her life in an intimate exploration of trauma, identity, and healing. This collection moves beyond memoir; it is a lifeline stitched from the fibers of truth and survival. Through an unfiltered lens, Ryder transforms her experiences, adoption, abuse, motherhood, and estrangement into art. With each poem and prose piece, she crafts a narrative of reclamation, courage, and hope.

New York, United States, 15th Aug 2025 – Black Ink: Ink-Stained Truths from a Bared Soul by Beth Ryder is now available on Amazon. This debut collection is a courageous literary offering that blends poetry, short stories, and raw personal testimony. At once a survivor memoir, a reflection on mental health, and a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, Black Ink creates a deeply personal yet universal space for readers to feel seen, understood, and empowered.

Book Description

Black Ink: Ink-Stained Truths from a Bared Soul is not just a book; it’s an act of bravery. Beth Ryder invites readers into the depths of her personal history, writing with a voice that is both broken open and beautifully intact. With searing honesty, she recounts the emotional terrain of being adopted, surviving sexual abuse, navigating motherhood, and confronting generational trauma. Every page is soaked in resilience, revealing how storytelling can serve as both a mirror and a balm.

Ryder’s voice is uniquely her own, brutally honest, powerfully tender, and unapologetically human. This poetry collection speaks to those still finding their voice and affirms the power of writing as a means of survival and transformation.

Why This Book Matters

In an era where mental health conversations are rising but still too often hushed, Black Ink offers a fearless contribution. Ryder’s work does not shy away from the dark; it ventures into it, sits with it, and ultimately finds light within it. For survivors, for adoptees, for mothers, and for anyone who has ever felt silenced, this book is a resonant call to reclaim the narrative. It’s not just literature, it’s testimony.

More than personal storytelling, Black Ink functions as a collective catharsis. It challenges societal silence and offers readers a safe space to confront their own truths. The poetry and short stories are accessible, deeply human, and emotionally validating. At a time when connection is desperately needed, Beth Ryder permits readers to be whole, even when broken.

About the Author

Beth Ryder is a poet, storyteller, and survivor whose voice is forged through lived experience. A native of Virginia, Ryder writes with a rawness and clarity that stems from a life marked by adoption, trauma, and fierce determination to heal. Her work has been featured in Journey of Healing: Wisdom from Survivors of Sexual Abuse and in The Art of Surviving Sexual Violence, an exhibit by the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance.

When asked what inspired her to write this book, Ryder shares, “For years, I carried stories I was too afraid or too conditioned to tell. Writing became my way back to myself. I wrote Black Ink for the girl I once was, and for anyone who has ever felt invisible. This book says: You matter. Your truth matters. And you are not alone.”

In her deeply reflective and emotionally grounded work, Beth holds space for others to see themselves not as victims but as survivors. Black Ink is her debut collection and a deeply personal gift to a world in desperate need of compassion and truth.
