A Paranormal Thriller Psychology professor Denton Reed has been pulled out of the classroom to find a killer. Bodies are turning up all over the quiet town of Bexhill. They are found dismembered and burned beyond recognition in a snow covered farmer's field, by the abandoned mill, and under the train bridge. The only clue linking the victims is the bizarre figure-eight patterns left behind in their homes. Denton must use his unique profiling techniques to uncover the murderer, who the police have dubbed Mr. 8. As he begins to unravel the mystery, a strange pattern begins to emerge. Before their deaths, each victim was seized by dark obsessions and inexplicable changes in behavior. Whatever strange forces are affecting the people of Bexhill, they may actually be more dangerous than any killer. As a wave of insanity sweeps the town, Denton will put his life on the line to get to the source of the madness and risk all to protect the woman he loves. But is it already too late?

Percy and Annabeth; in Tartarus. Gaea; on the brink of consciousness. Camp Half-Blood; in ruins. What are they gonna do now? After Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase's fall to the pit of darkness and evil, Nico di Angelo leads the Argo II to the mortal side of the Doors of Death in Epirus, Greece to rescue their two friends and close the Doors. But with the rivalry going on between camps, and Gaea's monstrosity of an army biting at their tails, the mission is futile and the chances of surviving this quest is slim. And the worst part is? Changing their ship's course to help their friends in Long Island. The Roman camp, Camp Jupiter, plans to strike Camp Half-Blood in the name of vengeance...and that scrawny, no-good, teddy bear-killer descendant of Apollo named Octavian. Even though its against their will, the crew of the Argo II knew this was their only chance of ending this rivalry between the two groups, now that they have the Athena Parthenos, the very cause of their fight. And after that, they sailed straight to their demise: The Doors of Death. Can they save Percy and Annabeth and the world? Or will Gaea win this time? Join our fellow demigods to fight to their death in the name of the Gods of Olympus. [Disclaimer: All rights go to Rick Riordan.

An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ...

(a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly
