Some evils require sacrifices.

From the dark imagination of the author of The Devil's Woods and Tomb of Gods come three blood-tingling novellas of horror and dark suspense. In these action-packed stories, unsuspecting people encounter ghosts, witches, serial killers, demons, and sinister cults.

THE WITCHING HOUSE

In 1972, twenty-five people were brutally murdered in one of the bloodiest massacres in Texas history. The mystery of who committed the killings remains unsolved. Over forty years later, Sarah Donovan is scared of just about everything, but today she must confront her fears as she joins her boyfriend and another couple on an exploring adventure. The old abandoned Blevins House, the scene of the gruesome massacre, is rumored to be haunted. The two couples are about to discover the mysterious house has been waiting all these years, craving fresh prey... Includes the short story prequel, "The Girl from the Blood Coven."

THE SEEKERS

While living under a bridge with the homeless for six months, journalist Daniel Finley witnessed something terrifying. Something that nearly cost him his sanity. Now, two years later, he's published a book that exposes a deadly underground cult and its charismatic leader who preaches a dark prophecy. Down in the abandoned subway tunnels exist unimaginable horrors that hunger for human flesh. And in a church of darkness, the cult's numbers are growing. Soon Daniel's worst nightmares are coming true. A fanatical army is rising to shed blood on the streets of Boston.

DARKNESS RISING

When he drives out to the lake to tell an old friend that he's fallen in love with a girl named Jennifer, Marty encounters three sadistic killers who have some twisted games in store for him. But Marty has dark secrets of his own buried deep inside him. And tonight, when all the pain from the past is triggered, when those secrets are revealed, blood will flow and hell will rise.
