Based on the Port St. Lucie Legend Back in the 1970s, a series of bizarre incidents occurred at what has since been known as "The Devil Tree." Beneath this ancient denizen, evil was wrought by a sick serial killer, calling upon forces most evil and dark. People were hung there ... and bodies buried there ... exhumed by the police. Overcome by superstition, some tried to cut down the tree, to no avail. Since then, it has stood in a remote section of a local park --- left to its own devices --- quiet in its eerie repose -- until now! Best-selling psychological-thriller author Keith Rommel has imagined the whole tale anew. He's brought the tree to life and retold the tale with gory detail only possible in a fiction novel. Action-packed, with spine-tingling detail, this thriller is beyond parallel in the ground it uncovers ... one author's explanation of what may have really been said -- what may have really happened -- under Port St. Lucie's "Devil Tree." What others are saying: "The Devil Tree blankets you in dread from the start and then proceeds to smother you." - Jason Brant, Best Selling author of The Hunger series. "Rommel has taken what was already a spooky legend and amped up the scares. Crackling dialogue, terrifying secrets, a Satanic aura and a mystery that should be left alone. The Devil Tree will give you shivers!" - Hunter Shea, author of Tortures of the Damned and The Montauk Monster. "The Devil Tree is a ton of bloody fun. It’s a gripping and terrifying tale with a razor sharp supernatural edge. Keith Rommel delivers a fast-paced, chilling horror story that pulls no punches. Beware the woods." -- Jack Campisi, Co-Host of the Monster Men horror video podcast. "Spooky" "Rommel has taken what was already a spooky legend and amped up the scares.

I've heard people laugh and say it's only a legend. But there is always some truth behind a legend, isn't there? Please read on...I beg the question if it is only a legend, why is it so many Port Saint Lucie Police Officers have gone out of their way to speak to me? Story after story I heard of their personal experiences that happened around the tree and sometimes the surrounding area. Some laughed it off, others didn't look comfortable telling me what it was they were saying. I believe in my heart that so many versions of this legend are around is because it was a tactic employed to confuse people from getting the truth. But the one thing that I believe with all of my being that something is there and it is malevolent.If you don't know anything about this legend ... it will shock you. keithrommel.com Keith is an award winning author and screenwriter.
