BAD BLOOD

By J.R. Rain, Scott Nicholson, and H.T. Night

People
call him Spider. And people come to him when they have a problem. So when
teenager Parker Cole approaches Spider at night school, he figures she's just
another problem waiting to happen. But then she tells him about her father, who
runs a cult called Cloudland based at the foot of mystical Mount Shasta, California. And then she tells Spider about her best friend, who is now dead, her body
completely drained of blood. Spider wonders if the death is the work of a
fellow vampire...or if he's now the target of a sinister game designed to lure
him to Cloudland, where darker mysteries await.

THE HARVEST

By Scott Nicholson

It falls from the heavens and crashes to earth
in the remote southern Appalachian Mountains.

The alien roots creep into the forest, drawn by
the intoxicating cellular activity of the humus and loam. The creature feeds on
the surrounding organisms, exploring, assimilating, and altering the life forms
it encounters. Plants wilt from the contact, trees wither, animals become
deformed monstrosities, and people become something both more and less than
human.

A telepathic psychology professor, a moonshine-swilling dirt farmer, a
wealthy developer, and a bitter recluse team up to take on the otherwordly force
that is infecting their town. The author’s preferred edition of the 2003
paperback release
The Harvest
