A haunted antique circus wagon…
A murderous dwarf…
A disappearing town under siege…
The citizens of sleepy little Hester, New York are plunged into unimaginable terror when their town is transformed into snowy old-growth forests, lush, steamy jungles, and grassy, golden savannas by a powerful, supernatural force determined to live . . . again.
Danger and death stalk two handsome young cops, a retired couple and their dog, the town ‘bad girl’, her younger sister’s boyfriend, and three members of the local motorcycle gang.
They find themselves battling the elements, restless spirits, and each other on a perilous journey into the unknown, where nothing is familiar, and people are not what they at first appear to be. Who, or what, are the real monsters?

A disenchanted spell-caster, a feeding-disordered and phobic vampire with a penchant for television talk shows, an inept shape-shifter, a militaristic saint, and a surferesque Viking are aligned in a mission to find the answer to unanswerable questions, drink coffee, and slaughter vaguely annoying bystanders. In the course of their journey, they encounter a variety of Famous Dead Guys, Mythic Creatures, and Horrendous Jokes. Under the dominion of a patriarchal authority figure, they stumble blindly through layers of past, present, and future, only to find that No One will help them.

It Has Waited….It Has Hungered...
When Jake Caruso and his construction team find a hidden tunnel in the cellar of the old Blake mansion in the sleepy hamlet of Harrington Falls, Jake can’t wait to explore its depths. There, he finds an even greater mystery: a stone chamber that’s been covered up for hundreds of years—sealed shut by some long-forgotten warden.
It Has Been Unleashed.
When the ancient seal is broken, a reign of terror and death consumes the town’s residents. Something is stalking them—something that strikes in the darkness without warning or mercy, leaving a trail of innocent blood in its wake—and Jake comes to realize the nightmarish truth of what he has set free. It is an evil born of ages past. A creature of eternal bloodlust. And it has risen to continue its endless slaughter…
