Abe Moss

"As a bestselling romance novelist with a troubled past, all Ruby Holloway ever wanted was a happily-ever-after of her own. But when she and her husband buy their first home, she finds her hopeful reality gripped by a dark force beyond her wildest nightmares... It all started with a book. Delighted to have a real-life author living in their midst, Carolyn Blackhurst can't wait to invite Ruby over for book club. That's when Ruby's introduced to Carolyn's favorite author - 17th century writer Verna Langley. With a giant portrait of the dead woman hung in her reading room, it's obvious Carolyn and her friends are more than mere fans, and after reluctantly taking their recommendation, Ruby soon discovers the haunting reason behind their obsession... A frightening power lies dormant within Verna's pages, waiting centuries for someone like Ruby to crack them open. As her sanity steadily starts to crumble, with her own past demons biting at her heels, now Ruby must stop the power's spread before it consumes everything she holds dear... ...before her happily-ever-after slips away."--Page 4 of cover.

A Novel

Gills

After landing the foster family of her dreams, fourteen-year-old Nell Parrish looks forward to spending their first weekend together at their lakeside cabin. The promise of a new start. A new life. A better life.

But nothing will prepare Nell for the nightmare that awaits them there, or the many haunting revelations following fast on its heels. Everything Nell thinks she knows—about our world, our reality, and herself—is wrong, and one night of unspeakable terror will prove it.

In the dead of night, a killer carves a trail of bloodshed across the quiet mountain landscape. Merciless. Unstoppable. Supernatural. Every victim is left in a similar state: on their knees, their flesh in tatters, with expressions of rapture upon their dying faces. Whatever is doing this, it's clearly not of this world, and only something—or someone—equally otherworldly can possibly stop it.

Whatever—or whomever—that may be, they’d better hurry.

Because Nell is running out of time.
