Point Lookout: Where Evil Crosses Over by Adamo Cultraro

About Point Lookout: Where Evil Crosses Over by Adamo Cultraro

When eighty year old Mrs. Tadwell is not only found dead but brutally disemboweled, Sheriff Julius Barnes finds himself with the biggest case in the history of tiny Point Lookout. Sure, Barnes had bitched about not having enough to do over the years, but after the town pastor rapes Tadwell’s corpse instead of embalming her, and then hangs himself, Barnes realizes he has something greater than a crime problem on his hands, with all signs pointing to a supernatural malevolence at work.

As Sheriff Barnes decides to swallow his pride and reach out to the FBI for help, people start missing, others have bizarre visions, and more bodies turn up. When the FBI finally does arrive, it sends a disinterested slacker who is short on time and even shorter on answers, forcing Barnes to look to more unconventional sources for some knowledge as to what is afoot in town. This help comes from the most unlikely place: Benjamin Olivera, Barnes’ across the street neighbor, who is supposed to be a retired master machinist, apparently holds a dark secret that he has revealed to no one for the past forty years – he is a former Jesuit priest who abandoned his vows.

Seeing a pattern within the deaths and strange occurrences, Olivera comes to the inescapable conclusion that the devil himself has specifically chosen the town due to its isolation to bring forth the child who will become the Antichrist. As a pervasive evil invades and dominates the town, Barnes and his deputy dig deep to defend their town, battling the very legions of hell.

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.
