The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by John Russell
“The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock is a mesmerizing journey into the mystical and unexplained. Authentic, heartfelt, and truly extraordinary.” My fourth book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock, is a collection of mind-blowing true tales of the supernatural. My new book examines not just newer experiences but it revisits some of the incredible events that I wrote about in my first two books—Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the dead, and A Knock in the Attic—with relevant updates to those narratives: such as the night that my precious and beloved deceased cat, Gizmo, came back in the flesh to visit me yet once again, proving that there is a powerful spiritual continuum in our lives that endures and provides additional truths and reassurances that our souls live on.
I write about never before told occurrences such as the time when my psychic powers fried a bus; the hair-raising supernatural event that happened to me when I was just a boy, running my paper route on my bicycle…in the dark; the magic rocks I’ve found over the years that changed in apparent weight and size and appearance; strange teleportations of objects from one sealed box to another after we had moved; an incredible story of the Devil himself dancing with several women in a West Texas nightclub during Cinco de Mayo; guidance from the Other Side that enabled me to save the life of a young child; and…the bizarre story of a snake that saved me and my buddies from a beatdown!
Sometimes my paranormal experiences are teaching moments that are subtle; memorable; and occasionally, heartrending, including life lessons that I’ve learned while observing nature, animals, and people. In some of my essays written in a style reminiscent of Robert Fulghum you’ll discover the spiritual lessons I learned from watching ducks in the river, a moth stuck in dewy grass, and a sacred moment I experienced with—of all things—a taco.
And then, there’s those pesky UFOs! Read about my own up close and personal encounters with these strange craft and my subsequent observations that have led me to draw distinct conclusions about their behaviors.
That’s just a smattering of the amazing true tales you’ll enjoy reading in my newest book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock.

Upon arrival, Sergeant Rance Hawkins and his four young charges are ordered to search an unmapped area beyond the main camp for evidence of a separate, clandestine compound, reportedly created for high-ranking SS officers to further torment and torture. Their quest will eventually lead them into a nearby coal mine, where a young camp survivor claims that her mother and other refugees are being held. Inside the murky caverns, the motley crew of dogfaces discover revelations so terrifying and vile as to make even the inhuman atrocities of Verurteilt seem tame by comparison.

About Mirror
In the town of Stonemount, an evil force lurks, leaving a trail of mutilated bodies in its wake. Each victim bears the same haunting signature—stabbed with surgical precision, their lifeless forms contorted into eerie geometric patterns, a chilling phrase scrawled beside them: “Look at yourself.” As the death toll rises, the town’s residents are gripped by a mounting sense of dread, the police baffled by the complete absence of evidence or motive.
At the center of this macabre tapestry is Eva Kane, a brilliant forensic psychologist burdened by a dark past. Ten years prior, her father—a once-respected psychiatrist—was unmasked as the notorious serial killer known as The Whisper, his reign of terror ending only when Eva’s shattering testimony condemned him to a life behind bars. Since then, she has devoted herself to unraveling the twisted minds of murderers, a quest fueled by an insatiable need to comprehend the depravity that festered within her father’s psyche.
As Eva lends her expertise to the investigation, the striking similarities between the new killings and her father’s methods become increasingly difficult to ignore. The killer seems to possess an intimate knowledge of her life, weaving chilling elements from her childhood into the gruesome crime scenes. Cryptic messages left amidst the carnage appear to be directed at Eva herself as if the killer is engaged in a perverse attempt at communication. With each fresh atrocity, Eva finds herself inexorably drawn deeper into the abyss, forced to confront the parallels that blur the line between this new killer and the man whose blood courses through her veins.
The stakes escalate as Eva begins to experience unsettling blackouts, waking in unfamiliar surroundings with no recollection of how she arrived there. Tormented by doubts, she finds herself questioning her sanity, wondering if the trauma of her father’s crimes has fractured her mind beyond repair. Could she be the unwitting perpetrator of these murders, acting out some inherited darkness during her dissociative episodes? Or is a more sinister force at play, someone manipulating the investigation from the shadows, driving her toward the brink of madness?
Desperate for answers, Eva immerses herself in her father’s journals and even risks a face-to-face encounter with the man himself, now confined to a maximum-security prison. But as she inches closer to the truth, the killer’s noose tightens, and Eva must race against time to uncover the truth about her past and figure out what horror has once again gripped Stomemount.
This tautly woven psychological thriller masterfully blends depth, tension, and jaw-dropping twists as Eva’s history intertwines with the unfolding crimes. Readers will question their perceptions with each page turn, drawn inexorably toward a stunning conclusion that will leave them reeling long after the final sentence.
