Helltown: A Horror Novel
Stephen Bentley - 2015
It's nothing like the suburb you might live in . . . Unless, that is, an insane, Listerine-guzzling Realtor sold you your house? Or perhaps your postman happens to have a disturbing relationship with his claw hammer? A grieving Dan LaBarbara knows something is different in Helltown as soon as he comes back home. Yeah, sure, the town always been a little off. You can feel that about the place, like if you stepped into a house whose only occupants were freshly murdered corpses in an upstairs bedroom. But this is something else entirely. Standing in his little brother Barbie's basement workshop, holding one of those dioramas Barbie's been building since the accident, the ones that seem to move when you hold them, Dan can feel Barbie's terror. Barbie must know something is coming, something big, something evil. He's trying to warn Dan in the only way he knows. Why else would Barbie build a diorama depicting a man-sized version of a cartoon rabbit with bloody teeth about to devour a trembling teenager? Why else would he spend so much time crafting an intricate model of Death standing over a pimply teenager in the school library? And let's not even talk about that little model of the mob of undead surrounding the massive tower of vicious black spines behind the high school. Hilltown has a story to tell, and the lonely brain-damaged man who builds magical dioramas in his basement workshop has been telling it all along. As the evil closes in around them, Dan and his new love interest Jessica must do the impossible: save everyone one in Hilltown before it's too late.

Jacob's Trap
Nicole Stewart - 2016
Loss. Revenge on the run. Until recently, Claire had it all: The best relationship someone could ever ask for, a burgeoning career and a beautiful home where she and her boyfriend, Daniel, were going to raise their family. Everything was going right. The pieces of their lives were falling perfectly into place.
And then it all went so terribly wrong.
In the blink of an eye, Daniel was gone, vanished without a trace. Days later, his body was found and Claire's reality was sent reeling at the sense of profound loss and panic that festered in his absence. All of this on top of the fact that she had to attend an ill-timed work function far away from home or risk losing her only source of income. Thankfully, her close friend Nick was by her side the whole time, helping her navigate the emotional fallout of her shocking loss. Although he's just the person to be her rock during this stressful time, it's hard to ignore his beautiful eyes and beautiful... everything else. Emotional turmoil does strange things to the libido. What Claire and Nick don't know is that someone very powerful, someone with all right connections, is after them, and it's all somehow connected to Daniel's death. What starts with a panicked cab ride away from the work function turns downright insane when they cross paths with Jacob, a mysterious guy with an alpha personality who seems to know more than he's letting on. But there's no time to stop and think about that now.
There's only time to run.
