In 1961 middle America, 11-year-old Abel has a lifelong history of night terrors and suffering from things that go bump in the night. Recently though, the nightmares have escalated rapidly as the boy begins to see through the eyes of murder victims during their last moments alive. He turns to his new neighbor and best friend Rachel for solace to make it through their school days.

Abel's mother, Leanne, discovers that the bad dreams are being caused by more than an overly active imagination, accidentally stumbling upon the secret that he is having visions of real people dying. She scrambles to protect her son from learning the truth, fearing that he won't be able to handle the dark responsibility on his small shoulders. Will Leanne save her son before the encroaching evil consumes their entire family?

Infernal Moon is a psychological rollercoaster that will test the limits of family bonds and how much torture the human psyche can withstand.

Edgar Tooms’s summer vacation is cut short by a supernatural home invader—a ten-foot-tall praying mantis!

The voracious beast, an ancient Mesopotamian demon, is after Edgar’s grandfather, a housebound ghost with no body. After escaping the creature’s claws, Edgar realizes that the gigantic mantis will never stop. Luckily, the demon’s entry into our world sparks a mystic transformation within Edgar, giving him a fighting chance.

Boosting Edgar’s odds are the addition of his best friend Clara Diaz, her quirky Aunt Ginnie, and the enigmatic professor Sol Balam who all bring their own special gifts to the fight. But hope fades when an even more powerful demon joins the hunt for Edgar’s grandfather. Now, Edgar must travel to the Underworld to seek help from a banished race of creatures hungry for revenge against their Mantid overlords.

Time isn’t on Edgar’s side as the cunning demons close in for a final showdown that threatens his friends and family. Will their combined efforts be enough to save Edgar’s beloved grandfather or will everyone lose their heads?

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

Ken Jaworowski's Small Town Sins is a gripping Rust Belt thriller that captures the characters of a down-and-out Pennsylvania town, revealing their troubled pasts and the crimes that could cost them their lives.

In Locksburg, Pennsylvania, a former coal and steel town whose best days seem long past, five thousand residents have toughed it out, and have reasons for both worry and hope as this neglected place teeters between decay and renewal. For some of them, their biggest troubles have just arrived.

After years of just scraping by, three restless souls have their lives upended: Nathan, a volunteer fireman who uncovers a secret stash of money in a burning building and takes it; Callie, a nurse whose tender patient may not have long to live, despite the girl's fundamentalist parents' ardent beliefs; and Andy, a recovering heroin addict who undertakes a nightmare mission to hunt down and stop a serial predator.

Before long, Nathan's stolen riches threaten to destroy everyone around him as he tries to cover his haphazard trail of lies. Callie risks her career to grant her young patient a final, and likely illegal, wish. And Andy's hunger for vigilante justice becomes a fierce obsession that may end in violence.

As their stories barrel toward unexpected ends, Nathan, Callie, and Andy struggle to endure--or escape. They each face their pasts and gamble on their futures, and confront the underside of their rough Rust Belt town. Riveting, evocative, and unforgettable, Small Town Sins is a debut novel that marks the arrival of a major new talent.
