Slasher Market Redlands: Meet Author Johanny Ortega and Shop The Ordinary Bruja

Join me at Slasher Market for a killer evening of horror, dark storytelling, and spooky local vendors. I’ll be bringing signed copies of my adult psychological horror novel, The Ordinary Bruja, a haunting story of grief, inherited trauma, family secrets, and the terrifying power buried within one woman’s ancestral legacy.
When Marisol Espinal returns to the isolated town of Willowshade after her mother’s death, she discovers that the home she tried to escape has not forgotten her. As the secrets surrounding her family begin to surface, Marisol must confront the ghosts of her past and decide whether reclaiming her identity will save her or consume her.
Come find me among the creepy collectibles, horror merchandise, eerie photo opportunities, and one-of-a-kind creations from local vendors. Stop by my table to meet the author, learn more about The Ordinary Bruja, and pick up a signed copy for your next dark and atmospheric read.
