Daemon
Author: Harry Shannon
Video Production: Yossi Sasson
Black Ops specialist Jeff Lehane burned out fast and retired young. He still has nightmares about a bloody mission into Iraq, right on the eve of the war. Lehane reluctantly agrees to assist his ex-wife, who is guarding a Latino rap star. She is killed during the concert, and Jeff soon discovers that someone—or something—has broken into the morgue to eat from her corpse. Outraged, Lehane assembles his former team and they begin to hunt down the ghoul that is stalking Las Vegas.The Scoop:
"Shannon is a writer who is not afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light." - Brian Keene, author of Dark Hollow and Dead Sea
"Harry Shannon takes age-old themes and gives them a new and fearsome bite. Vividly realized, his writing is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights." - Tom Piccirilli, author of The Dead Letters and Midnight Road
"A literary muscle rarely seen in the horror field these days; in fact, the last time I can remember reading novels that were both this action-packed and this smart was in the heyday of Robert McCammon. Shannon is a writer of incredible energy who never blinks his eye for detail." - Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Mr. Hands and Prodigal Blues

Dark Resurrection
Author: John A. Karr
Video Production: John A. Karr
Surgeon Victor Galloway kept death at bay in the operating room – now death has claimed him. Resurrected against his will, he must fight for his family and his soul.
The Scoop:
"A fascinating twist on the zombie theme, where zombies aren’t mindless killing machines, and they’re even using hospitals to cover up the harvesting of humans for food. The plot moves quickly and certainly had me turning the pages to find out what happens next.” - Errant Dreams Reviews
“Dark Resurrection explores evil in a way that really hooked this reader. The forceful impact practically pulls the reader straight into the pages. It was as if I had stepped right into the crazed hospital. Once I saw the cover, I knew I needed to read this scary tale in the daylight. This is one horrific story that shouldn’t be missed.” - Fallen Angel Reviews
“Dark Resurrection is without a doubt one of the most fascinating and intriguing books this reviewer has read recently. Author John A. Karr demonstrates a knack for capturing and keeping his readers' attention with his deft hand at characterization combined with a masterly suspenseful plot enwrapped in the workings of a truly creative imagination.” - TwoLips Reviews

Demon Theory
Author: Stephen Graham Jones
Video Production: NA
A thoroughly annotated film treatment of a feature film trilogy that died in production. Or, “Six med students traipse out into the country one night, unaware there’s a storm approaching, or that there’s something waiting for them at that old farmhouse...” Or, “Keep telling yourself it’s just a book, it’s just a book.”The Scoop:
“Forget the teen slasher films of the 90’s, and no one really cares what happened last summer anymore. Jones spanks them all soundly and puts them to bed without supper. And he does it with style, guiding the reader along the twisting corridors of terror.” – Dread Central
“Reading Stephen Graham Jones’ Demon Theory is akin to watching horror director Wes Cravens’ Scream trilogy with David Foster Wallace whispering in your ear…ingenious.” – Dallas Morning News
“Jones, an unapologetic pop-culture savant, seizes the opportunity to recast thriller clichés into a madly entertaining landmark of literary horror...Demon Theory is subversive and indispensable – there is genius at work here.” – Texas Monthly
