Portal by David Mayo

Portal by David Mayo

Jagger Daines is in a living nightmare. He lost his parents in a horrifying auto crash that left him in a coma. Once awakened, he was inexplicably stricken by epilepsy and a strange immunity to all drugs. It was a singular miserable existence, self-exiled in his lonely home, his only companions the constant seizures.
Then came hope in the form of a new quantum formulated drug and protocol. However, his newfound optimism crashes in on itself as something savage and unexplained enters the world through his quantum-modified brain.
The evidence forces him to conclude that he has somehow become a portal, a reality no one else is willing to believe in.
For Daines, it becomes a race against time before the portal opens wider and more innocent lives are consumed.

There’s No Such Thing As Vampires by Heather Masterson

About There’s No Such Thing As Vampires by Heather Masterson

Casey was the girl who got away. Twice.
The first time, she got away because he was afraid.
The second time, she disappeared.
When the police found her car abandoned and bloody on the side of the road, Joe thought he had lost her forever.
Six months later, Joe went camping, was nearly murdered, found Casey in the woods, and then went a little insane.
It seemed like the thing to do at the time.
—–
All Ryan had to do was fly to Colorado and do a security assessment on a paranoid old lady who’d started seeing boogeymen in the bushes. She wouldn’t tell his employers what the problem was. Not over the phone, anyway.
She told the neighbors that the businessman who’d purchased her dead husband’s property was a vampire.
It was supposed to be an easy job, but when Ryan arrived too late to prevent the old lady’s murder, everything started going wrong.
Vampires don’t exist, but some kind of monster was out there. The least Ryan could do was look into it.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer

About The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer

Walt Erickson is a famous author whose books are read by millions of adoring fans, but he has never written a word of his own novels. The secret behind his novels is the stuff of nightmares.

With his agent, an associate, and a particularly unique typewriter by his side, Walt’s creative process is much more sinister and merciless than the average writer’s. The lengths to which one man will go to achieve fame and notoriety give a chilling glimpse into what humans are capable of, regardless of the moral consequences.

The Wordsmith is a thrilling and darkly innovative story of suspense, one that will force you to wonder if we can ever truly know the whole story behind the people we love. Is it possible to unearth the darkest details of ourselves and still come out alive?

As Walt’s hunger for fame continues to grow, and his girlfriend begins to suspect the unsettling truth behind his words, the tenuous threads holding Walt’s life together begin to fray.

From the astoundingly imaginative mind of Alan Ayer, The Wordsmith is a gripping narrative that dares to peer into the shadows of the darkest aspects of humanity. Our story—our fate in life—is often written against our will.
