Growls in the Dark drops ex-Army medic–turned–park ranger Wes Keen into the eerie wilds of Land Between the Lakes just as hikers begin disappearing. Wes’s tight-knit crew—Alicia (straight-laced ranger with a Glock), Bob (motor-mouthed stoner proudly toting his shotgun “Betty Boom Boom”), and a lone cryptid hunter obsessed with local legends—soon realize the culprit isn’t human. A hulking creature stalks the timber, and when a covert government team arrives to bury the evidence, the four must fortify the ranger station, record proof, and survive both fang and firearm. Fast, snark-laden, and claustrophobic, the novel blends siege thriller tension with a toothy creature-feature bite
When "isolated incidents" spread north from Florida, combat veteran Eli Carpenter recognizes a government cover-up. Something is turning people violent through bites and scratches. As his suburban neighborhood becomes a trap, Eli leads his family toward the West Virginia mountains.
But when Eli gets scratched rescuing another family, he faces a terrifying question: everyone else who's infected turns mindless and violent. So why hasn't he?
Sometimes being different isn't a curse. Sometimes it's evolution.
Whispers of the Lost follows ranger Wes Keen, his sharp-eyed partner Alicia, and wise-cracking Bob as they investigate the baffling winter disappearance of six teens in Shenandoah National Park. A centuries-old local legend murmurs through the pines, fresh footprints end abruptly in untouched snow, and every new clue points deeper into a maze of abandoned mine shafts. Wes soon realizes the park’s own rangers seem to know more than they’re admitting, forcing him to untangle layers of secrecy before the forest’s whispers claim more lives—and bury the truth for good.
