DEAD SEA
When the freighter Mara Corday was posted missing in the Sargasso Sea, nobody
knew that the ship had vanished into a patch of luminous fog and been funneled
into an alternate dimension of perpetual mists, ghost ships, sea monsters, and alien
horrors. Trapped in a clotted seaweed sea with hundreds of wrecked ships,
enshrouded by impenetrable fog, the survivors find a cryptic notebook left by a
rogue physicist who holds the key to deliverance from the dimension of the
graveyard sea. If they can find him amongst the rotting hulks, they just might get
home. But they had better hurry. There is an unspeakable, disembodied horror in
the mist, one that has left empty ships in its wake since antiquity. And now it is
after them...

HIVE
Beneath the ice caps of Antarctica, an alien horror has been waiting to rise.
Billions of years ago, they engineered all life on Earth and were the architects of
evolution and human intelligence. And now as a team of paleontologists explores
subterranean alien ruins countless millions of years old and an ancient
extraterrestrial city is located on the bed of a fathomless sub-glacial lake by a
NASA research team, what has been waiting in the permafrost is now waking up.
Waking up to feed on the raw power of the human psyche. Waking up to claim
what it seeded so many eons ago. The human race is about to be harvested...

SKIN MEDICINE
Bounty hunter Tyler Cabe comes to the rough, violent
mining town of Whisper Lake, Utah Territory, tracking a
sadistic killer who has left a trail of mutilated prostitutes
from California to Nevada. He finds a town on the brink of
open warefare between intolerant vigilantes and Mormon
Avenging Angels. But that's the least of his worries: for
something is slaughtering both sides and anyone
in-between, leaving mutilated, half-devoured corpses in its
wake. And the trail leads straight back to Deliverance...a
settlement abandoned by the Mormon squatters in absolute
terror one night. Now Cabe must lead a posse into that
ghost town during a blizzard, to do battle with a population
that does not walk by daylight. And there he will face the
festering evil residing in the form of legendary killer James
Lee Cobb. An evil born in a witch-haunted New England
village and brought to term by a primeval cannibal demon
in the high mountains...
