"Chock-full of blood, fluids, bone, and anything else a body can possibly produce and lose spectacularly. If you think that’s something that might bother you then keep walking. If you have no problems with that and like a chilling horror/mystery with a special forces bent then I think you’ll really enjoy this book."
-HORRORWATCH
Black Ops specialist Jeff Lehane burned out fast and retired young. He still has nightmares about a mission into Iraq, right on the eve of the war, when his squad of private contractors interrupted a vicious human sacrifice. Lehane reluctantly agrees to assist his ex-wife, who is guarding a Latino rap star. She is killed during the concert, and Jeff soon discovers that someone--or something--has broken into the morgue to eat from her corpse. Outraged, Lehane assembles his former team, and soon they begin to hunt down the ghoul that is stalking Las Vegas.
PRAISE FOR HARRY SHANNON
"Shannon is a writer who is not afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light."
BRIAN KEENE
"Harry Shannon takes age-old themes and gives them a new and fearsome bite. Vividly realized, his writing is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights."
TOM PICCIRILLI
"Harry Shannon has the soul of both a punch-drunk poet and a literate priest...one of the more gifted writers to break into the horror/thriller genres this century”
SCOTT NICHOLSON
"Harry Shannon's writing is compelling, the emotions of his characters very real and his sense of pace impeccable."
"Shannon will be around for a long time to come. He is the real deal.”
REALLY SCARY
"A literary muscle rarely seen in the horror field these days; in fact, the last time I can remember reading novels that were both this action-packed and this smart was in the heyday of Robert McCammon. Shannon is a writer of incredible energy who never blinks his eye for detail."
GARY A. BRAUNBECK
"A confident and powerful writer, propelled by an obvious affection for those shambling horrors that used to keep us awake at night, those lumbering monstrosities made enormous by the drive-in screen while we stared fearfully up from the cage of our cars. The creatures that ceased to scare us when we got old enough to notice the zippers running up their backs. The terror maturity forced us to forget.”
KEALAN PATRICK BURKE
“Harry Shannon loves a good monster. You can tell by the pleasure he takes in bending the familiar tropes to his own ends, reshaping them into new and entertaining adventures with a cinematic flair."
CHAIROSCURO
“Shannon writes with an assured level of control, pace and experience that sings off the page. In fact his writing knocked me off my feet ... and I'm still reeling. Full of foreboding, peopled with fascinating, gritty, believable characters, and richly veined with depth and soul...a name we are all going to be seeing much, much more of in years to come."
TIM LEBBON
"At the top of his game. Honest, cutting, and just plain talented as hell."
