The night is full of wild things . . .

When Kym Phillips embarks on a road trip from Atlanta to Los Angeles to take her younger sister to college, she’s anticipating an opportunity to bond with her sister and a chance to see the country. And as an accomplished, single professional with her thirtieth birthday only a week away — and no marriage prospects in sight — Kym is looking forward to some quiet time to reflect on the frustrating course of her love life.

Waiting for them . . .

He roams the lonely highways and barren canyons of the Southwest. Leader of a pack of vicious minions, he hunts the night for travelers far from home . . . for prey.

Deep into their journey, Kym realizes that someone is following them. Someone with an uncanny predator’s instinct. Someone with a sick hunger for blood. Someone who, no matter what they do to escape, is utterly relentless . . .

The award-winning author of Dark Corner, Thunderland, and Within the Shadows, Brandon Massey delivers a chilling supernatural thriller of the ties that bind — and dark secrets written in the blood. . . .

Good fortune has smiled upon Gabriel Reid since the day he was born. Blessed with a loving family, educated in the finest schools, he holds a senior position in his father’s successful construction business in Atlanta. Engaged to a smart, beautiful woman and standing to inherit the CEO mantle, Gabriel’s got it all. But he’s about to meet someone who could change everything. . . .

Raised on the mean streets of Chicago, Isaiah Battle refused to succumb to the violence that claimed others in his neighborhood. He’s forged his own identity from various influences, relying on his strength of character in the face of adversity. He also relies on another kind of strength — and few who have witnessed Isaiah wield his dark power have survived to tell the tale. . . .

Now Isaiah has come to Atlanta to claim his birthright — as Gabriel’s half-brother from their father’s extramarital affair. The news threatens to tear the Reid family apart as they struggle to accept the stranger among them. But Isaiah, talented in ways no one ever imagined, wants much more than acceptance. He wants what he believes is rightfully his: everything Gabriel has. And he’ll let nothing stand in his way. . . .

Be Careful What You Wish For

At just thirty-one, Andrew Wilson has it all: close friends, a great house in an Atlanta suburb, and a successful career as a mystery writer. Only one thing is missing — a special person to share it with. Then one day he meets someone new, a woman who seems almost too good to be true.

Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Mika Woods is everything that Andrew has ever wanted and more — at first. After one night of passion, Andrew soon discovers that Mika isn’t quite who she appears to be. Or even what she appears to be.

But it’s too late to turn back. Mika has been waiting a lifetime for a man like Andrew. And what she wants, what she desires, she will have — no matter who has to die . . .

From Brandon Massey, award-winning author of Thunderland, comes a terrifying new novel about a town besieged by evil . . . and the one man who is determined to fight the darkness . . .

When renowned author Richard Hunter dies in a boating accident, his son David travels to Mason’s Corner, Mississippi, to find out more about the father he never really knew. At first, Mason’s Corner seems friendly and unassuming — the perfect “small town.” But after a newcomer moves into the old — and supposedly haunted — mansion on the hill, everything changes . . .

People begin to disappear. Dogs viciously attack. And soon David discovers that the terror consuming this place has its roots in his own family tree . . .

For something has risen in Mason’s Corner. Something with bloody ties to the town’s past. Something undead — and hungering for vengeance . . .

Days after a devastating gale rips through his town and nearly takes his life, young Jason Brooks wakes up to a whole new world. His mother — once a neglectful, angry drunk — has given up the bottle to spend more time with him. The father he barely knew is now making an honest effort to mend his troubled marriage. And shy, self-conscious Jason has made friends — at last. The whole family is well on the way to recovery — and to finding the happiness that in the past has proved so elusive.

But then the nightmares start . . .

The stalker creeps into the bedroom. He bends down, slowly lifting the bedspread. He lifts it higher . . . and Jason wakes up screaming, his heart thudding in his chest.

And strange things begin to happen . . .

Cryptic messages appear on the bathroom mirror. Clothing flies about the room. The bed rises in the air . . . and thumps back to the ground. And always, in the distance, thunder roars . . . . Because someone — or something — is coming.

For Jason . . .

DEAD.

Some evils are so great that they transcend death. In Brandon Massey’s “The Patriarch,” a young writer travels to the hushed backwoods of Mississippi, where dangerous secrets surface as a generations-old feud comes to bone-chilling new life . . .

BURIED.

The souls of the mistreated always find a way to be heard. In L.A. Banks’s “Ev’ry Shut Eye Ain’t Sleep,” violent visions haunt a man-until he’s handed an opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and prevent unspeakable acts from occurring once again . . .

FORGOTTEN.

When horrors are covered up and lost, our ancestors must find a way — even in death-to tell their tales. In Tananarive Due’s “Ghost Summer,” ancestors haunt the nights of two children. And when a grisly discovery is made, these ancestors will make their mark on both the dead and the living . . .

BEYOND YOUR DARKEST DREAMS —
From the deceptive safety of your very own bed to the seeming stillness of country roads and the bustle of urban streets, your darkest realities reveal themselves as you enter hidden realms, crossing the threshold into one man’s tortured mind — a mind haunted by the mocking, derisive voices of his youth. Quench your insatiable thirst for terror at a bar where the drinks are abominable and the patrons never leave. Relive the infamous, harrowing Middle Passage that brought millions of African slaves to America, but this time with a spellbinding twist. . .

LIE YOUR DEEPEST FEARS —
From scenes of pulsating ecstasy to unspeakable tragedy, surrender yourself to a world inhabited by bizarre sex cults and violent gangs. Meet the malevolent entities that feed on human misery in the midst of a hurricane’s wrath. Endure a sweltering summer on a swamp inhabited by mischievous spirits intent on possessing the most innocent within their slimy grasp. Submit to the tantalizing temptation and the irresistible pull of the unknown in eighteen stories that will illuminate the horrors within — and without. And whatever you do, don’t turn off the lights.

IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT . . .
. . . few possess the courage to gaze into the dim corners of darkened rooms . . . to face what lurks in lonely places . . . to traverse the world of the dead. They are the gifted ones.

Feel the air thicken with dread just before dawn as a woman faces a chilling figure on an ominous mission. Experience terror in every tingling tale of this spellbinding anthology. From family legends to African lore . . . from ancient horror reborn in the jungles of Brazil to mysterious treasure recovered in a suburban garage . . . from weird obsession to forbidden possession, these stories will make your blood pulse, your heart pound, and your mind race.
