Winning at this casino can be HELL
Roll Them Bones
by Danielle Gomes
Genre: Supernatural Thriller, Horror
A gripping supernatural thriller where the house always wins—unless you’re willing to burn it all down.
When Lilith Umbra flees Las Vegas for a fresh start at the Golden Sands Casino in Atlantic City, she thinks she’s escaping her tragic past. But some fates can’t be outrun.
Strange occurrences plague the crumbling casino: phantom sounds, impossible shadows, and visions that feel disturbingly real. Local journalist Sharp insists the building is cursed, while her charismatic boss Amon dismisses such claims as nonsense.
But when Lilith uncovers a mysterious book detailing the rituals of a powerful occult organization, she realizes the truth is far more sinister than any ghost story.
As ancient prophecies collide with modern ambition, Lilith discovers she hasn’t stumbled into evil’s path—she’s been guided there. With allies who may be enemies and time running out, she faces an impossible choice that will determine not just her fate, but the fate of humanity itself.
Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers who love unreliable narrators, shocking twists, and stories where nothing is as it seems.
Some games are rigged from the start. But sometimes, the only way to win is to change the rules entirely.
Excerpt:
Excerpt from Roll Them Bones by Danielle Gomes
“How big is the basement area?” I ask, a weak attempt to dispel the quiet.
“It’s very large. The shipping dock unloads to an underground warehouse, so we have some storage areas. Facilities has a few offices down here. Then everything’s connected by these tunnels. It’s very safe, just don’t explore alone ‘til you really learn your way around.”
“I don’t plan on spending much time down here.”
“The tunnels can be very confusing. Some lead nowhere. They used to run under the street and connect multiple buildings, but most of those buildings have been torn down and the tunnels closed off.”
I have to jog a little to keep up with Peter, he’s moving so quickly . . . for which I’m grateful. We take a quick left, followed by a right, and another left—I think.
“Am I going too fast?” Peter yells back to me.
“Nope,” I say as my heel catches and I stumble, nearly going down. As I regain my balance, I turn to look for whatever caught my heel. It felt like a trick kids do to each other, but I don’t see anything that could have tripped me.
“Sorry,” Peter says. “I should’ve told you to wear your walking shoes.”
“I should know better than to wear shoes like this to work.” Mom’s insistence that heels belong in a workplace hadn’t considered a basement tour. The lights flicker then go dark. It’s pitch black. “Peter!” I grope at the darkness, searching for something to hang onto. My fingers brush across something soft—Peter’s sweater. I grab on. The dark is so absolute that my fingers instinctively tighten into a frenzied clutch, as though this sweater is the only thing that anchors me to the real world. “I’m sorry,” I say.
“Did you say something?” His voice is much too far away. Whatever I’m holding onto, it isn’t Peter’s sweater. Immediately, I let go and swallow as a current of cold, dense air pours down on me. “Peter?”
“Yeah, I’m here,” he yells from up ahead.
“Where?” I know someone is right by me and it’s not Peter. My scalp tingles like thousands of ants have poured out of the darkness and are working their way through my hair. As I gasp for air, I’m hit with the acrid aroma of old fabric, wet and rotten. Part of me wants to thrash my arms, wildly fighting off whatever is close, but the other part wants to shrink back and hide in the dark.
“Just a little farther up. It’s very dark. Hold on.”
I freeze. Even my breath becomes shallow. Tears burn.
I’m completely and utterly paralyzed.
Something inches closer.
