For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Dean Koontz...Thinking back to when everything changed, Derrick can never pinpoint if it was the pickaxe swinging toward his own face that alerted him or if he knew moments earlier when he saw the weapon hurtle toward the barn cat. Either way, he quickly realized that the man he was facing-a farm employee he knew well-was not only no longer a friend, he wasn't even human any more.An apocalyptic tale that surprises you with humor when it's not terrifying you with horror, Those Who Are Left follows Derrick as he and two strangers venture through the major cities of the South in search of family and safety. But not all the human factions can be trusted, and if the trio can't figure out what's driving the different groups they could end up with enemies on all sides.But even in a chaotic world of murderous screamers and posturing humans, there's always time to play a few games of bowling before the slaughter begins...right?

Life moves differently in the claws of a small town. People are less private, the town moves slower, and what people view as important is scaled down to the world around them. Johnny Davis's entire life has been one long, desperate attempt at being a part of something bigger than his childhood town of Nowheresville. It isn't until his ten-year high school reunion that he realizes all his efforts have been for nothing. Because no one ever really leaves a small town. That's when he finds Dandy D's Carnival Funland. There's something about the Funland that he can't escape, something that lures him through the gigantic marquee. Maybe it's the smell of the corndogs, or the laughter surrounding him, but Johnny feels uneasy about what lies underneath all of lights, and games, and cheer. A darkness has taken over the Funland, and it's reaching for Johnny. Its sharp claws dig into him while around him, people of all ages are having the time of their lives. Ridin' The Five is a horror novel that weaves childhood nostalgia into a terrifying story of purpose in a small town. The whimsy of the carnival will usher in all new terrors from the deep South.

It's hurricane season. Johnny D's Carnival Funland is closing early for the night as Rose Colline braces for the storm of the decade. Kevin Maxey and his friends are going to do it. They're spending the night in the Nelson House. As the town hunkers down beneath the heavy clouds, Kevin and his friends break into Rose Colline's real haunted house and wait for the storm. Spending the night in the Nelson House is all Kevin needs to jettison himself to the top of their small town popularity, but the hurricane isn't the only thing coming for them. Kevin will have to face an evil terror when the lights go out. The storm threatens to destroy the house around him, but the horrors don't end when the skies are clear...

"This was the most vivid the house had been since that night the house took Kevin."As a child, Carlos watched the Nelson House burn. And as its walls fell to a blazing inferno, so did his childhood friend Kevin, trapped somewhere inside.But Carlos and Kevin weren't alone that night. His future wife Jess, their wisecracking friend Duke, nebbishy Eddie and troubled Jaimie were also present for this tragedy. In the aftermath they remained silent about its culprit, a spectral figure cloaked in black and wielding two white phantom revolvers.Now, on the eve of Hurricane Katrina, they find themselves standing before the very house that vanished in flames 20 years prior. And to seek shelter from the coming storm they must reenter its doors and confront this familiar wraith from their fiery past.
