The story of "Stonebroken" revolves around Mike Wise, a skilled detective who is trapped between a web of his own making from the past, and a terrifying mystery happening in the present. This story is set in a bleak urban landscape and begins when Mike is assigned a task of intimidating the lover of a powerful politician. Beginning with that apparently typical job, Mike’s journey takes him through terrifying situations, confounding mysteries, and dangerous illusions. The twists and turns of this novel will keep readers on the edge, and progresses with imagery so extraordinary that it seems almost to test the limits of reality…and indeed it does.

The beauty of mystery and horror novels in their uniqueness, in how the author’s vision embellishes on the terrors that already live inside the reader. No one is safe in “Stonebroken”, and danger is everywhere, to the body, the mind, and the soul. Fess Stancato deserves appreciation for this must-read literary contribution, which should be appreciated not only for its story, but for his refined and powerful style. His inspiration comes from well-known literary masters such as Cormac McCarthy, HP Lovecraft, and Stephen King, and those influences shine through, as Stancato displays a masterful sense of control and accelerating tension within the story, and deploys imagery by turns both shocking and deeply resonant. Mike Wise is a different kind of detective, familiar enough to recognize, but deep enough to surprise. “Stonebroken” is a versatile combination of cosmic horror, mystery, and psychological thriller, resulting in a complex, compelling, and rewarding storyline.
Stancato’s fascination with reality and illusion can be seen throughout the story, in which Mike sifts through not only the clues to a mystery, but also hidden realities, both internal and external, all of which cannot be real…or so Mike first assumes. His greatest challenge, and the secret of “Stonebroken”, rest upon his discovering the truth about which is which.
