Within the hour James will witness the suicide of his closest friend, be responsible for countless murders, and become a fugitive from the police. In the shadow of his mind, a demon lurks. Bloodlust is a virus and it's infecting his logic. James has become a pawn in a game he does not understand, and only one thing is clear:

Survival is not an option.
"I loved this book; it's superbly well written. The metaphors are razor-sharp and inventive, the dialogue is fresh, authentic, and reveals familiar and believable characters efficiently and with minimal description."

David Hudnut, author of Night Walk
"From page one this book will grab you and not let go. Daley creates believable characters in a believable world. They do things that we only *wish* we could do. The action is non-stop and the gore is top notch. This is by far a stellar debut by a tremendous writer who you can only expect more good things from in the future."

James J. Melzer, author of The Zombie Chronicles

"BEST NEW VAMPIRE TALES goes for the throat with chilling and innovative new takes on the undead. Highly recommended for the bloody-minded "

What do you do when the dead open their eyes?
Meet Stephenie Paige. She finds herself trapped in Hell. Not metaphorically, but physically. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Meet Carrie, Stephenie's daughter; she's five years old and cute as a button. And when she tells her mom that she needs the bathroom, her mom says, "No problem. I'll pull the car off the road at the next available place."
Welcome to King's Diner, the gateway to eternal suffering.
Carrie enters the restaurant while Stephenie has her hands full at the gas pump. But the pump isn't working, and the attendant is nowhere to be found. So she steps inside the restaurant...
...and discovers a slaughterhouse. The customers are dead; the staff are dead too. Twenty-odd people, chopped apart with an axe. There's blood everywhere.
Worse still... Carrie is suddenly missing.
***
From the author of THE DEAD PARADE, 13 DROPS OF BLOOD, and TERROR TOWN, comes more hardcore horror for those that like their fiction to be ultra-scary...

Things are different in the sky-city of Quentaris. Since the assassination of the old Archon, the city has fallen into the hands of a lazy, power-hungry ruler who cares nothing for his people only the acquisition of new and better sources of authority and wealth. Tab used to be an apprentice magician, back in the good old days. Now she mucks out stalls and tries to duck her bosss bad temper. But she hasnt forgotten her training, and practises on her own late at night. Little does she know that her talents unrecognised in the new regime will take her and her friends on an adventure they wont soon forget.

"If you haven't read Gary Brandner, you're missing a treat." STEPHEN KING

The Howling Trilogy -- three books in one

The Howling

Karyn and her husband Roy had come to the peaceful California village of Drago to escape the savagery of the city. On the surface Drago appeared to be like most small rural towns. But it was not. The village had a most unsavory history. Unexplained disappearances, sudden deaths. People just vanished, never to be found...

The Howling II

For Karyn it was the howling. The howling that had heralded the nightmare in Drago... the nightmare that had joined her husband Roy to the she-wolf Marcia and should have ended forever with the fire. But it hadn't. Roy and Marcia were still alive, and deadly... and thirsty for the most horrifying vengeance imaginable...

The Howling III

They are man. And they are beast. Once again they stalk the night, eyes aflame, teeth flashing in vengeance. Malcolm is the young one. He must choose between the familiar way of the human and the seductive howling of the wolf. Those who share his blood want to make him one of them. Those who fear him want him dead. Only one woman and one man want to help him. Even though they can't believe their ears. Or their eyes...

Matt Hults, author of Husk

Do you remember discovering Robert R. McCammon, or King's Carrie? Reading Terror Town you'll experience that same dark funhouse gravity. Spare but cinematic, the pace is crisp and moves well. Recommended
Author, Simon McCaffery

This book is the most disturbing, graphic, and disgusting book I've read in my entire life, hands down. I've never come across a story that is as horrifyingly brutal than this. That being said, you MUST read it
Eliose J. Knapp, author of The Undead Situation

The scariest book I have ever read in my life.
Cynthia Gould, High Heels Lo Fi

Twisted, unpredictable, and deliciously morbid, Terror Town has it all: horrifying creatures, vampires, zombies, and one of the best-written, sadomasochistic serial killers since 'Buffalo Bill.' Terror Town is the ultimate Scarefest

Something for every zombie fan a gut-wrenching mix of horror, humor and thrills
NATE KENYON, award-winning author of: THE BONE FACTORY and SPARROW ROCK

TIM WAGGONER, award winning author of: DARKNESS WAKES and LIKE DEATH

In "The Back of Beyond," James Charles Roy, a noted authority on Irish history and travel, escorts a disparate group of Americans through the lonely backwaters of ancient Ireland. Visions of a glorious enterprise evaporate as he sees a dejected and weary handful of aged tourists disembark at Shannon Airport. Fortified by Guinness, Roy hurls himself into sharing with them the joys and wonders of Ireland's twisted byways.Determined to avoid cliche, Roy leads his group to obscure Celtic coronation sites, monasteries, and remote abbeys as he spins a narrative that pulls Ireland's chaotic story into coherence. His unsuspecting charges begin to shed their hesitancies, relishing in their guide's idiosyncratic approach to Ireland. Black comedy aside, Roy touches an emotional chord: how the economic phenomenon known as the Celtic Tiger has transformed Old Ireland into a high-tech power. At the tour's end, Roy embarks alone for the inaccessible Ardoilean, a seventh-century Celtic hermitage in County Galway. His vision is one of an Ireland lost forever.

Based in Ballater on Royal Deeside between June 1914 and December 1915, the novel recounts the great love between an exceptional young woman and Gavin Fraser, a Gordon Highlander. They share an idyllic holiday in Upper Deeside and the Cairngorms. Her detailed comments about the area and life shed light on herself and inspire lyrical exchanges with him about their relationship. There is a regular alternation between an account of his service on the Western Front and news from her in Ballater. For example, she and her father visit some of his comrades in the burgh's Red Cross Hospital. She informs him about wider matters, including cultural issues. Thus their relationship continues to develop. The novel expands for his leave in Aberdeen and her following holiday, taken at his suggestion, with her friend Ishbel in the Cairngorms, approaching from Aviemore. The major uncertainty is what will happen to him and his close comrades in the war. There is some humour and enough masculine content to attract both male and female readers. James Roy Pickard has written an MLitt thesis on The Relationship between Childhood and Adulthood in the Novels of Charles Dickens and A History of King's College Library, Aberdeen, until 1860. A retired librarian at Aberdeen University, he has spent many years researching the background to this novel and exploring Upper Deeside and the Cairngorms. He has often camped near the mountains to absorb the atmosphere better. Cover Photograph: Lochnagar from Craigendarroch

In The Fields of Athenry , James Charles Roy leads us through the Irish past and present by way of his own personal struggles and misadventures in renovating Moyode Castle, an old tower house that he purchased more than thirty years ago. While he pieces together its four-hundred-year-old past, the castle becomes a powerful symbol for Roy - it is battered by waves of history, yet timeless and resilient. Roy's personal struggles with the land and its people open for him a wide-ranging historical conversation on Ireland today and our sense of history more broadly. How do we reconcile the historical nostalgia attached to Ireland with the boom times that the "Celtic Tiger" enjoys today? With this question in mind, Roy searches for the answer of what attracts us - or, perhaps more aptly, him - to the rubble of a castle from Irish days long past.
