1991. The end of the Soviet era. In a clandestine underground military facility something was created. The Omega Breed. Genetically engineered weaponized creatures so terrifyingly deadly, they were only ever intended to be deployed as a last resort in the event of a global conflict, designed with one purpose, and one purpose only, to utterly destroy the enemy. They escaped. They hid. They thrived. They waited. Three decades later, the horrifying secret of their creation is accidentally rediscovered. A Russian Federation undercover black ops team is dispatched to America. Their desperate mission: destroy the hybrids at any cost and kill anyone who has learned of their existence. Now Kimberly Eastman and Franklin Barr must now face their greatest foes yet. Monsters constructed to be the ultimate apex predators, and a team of ruthless soldiers who will stop at nothing to preserve Russia’s most closely guarded secret. In this ultimate battle, death will be the rule. Survival will be the exception.

CRYPTID 2

From before the dawn of time we have feared them – something long faded into myth and legend – creatures so terrifying our race memory retains the dread they brought with them in the darkness of the night. Kimberly Eastman. A woman so traumatized by a horrific past she has become a recluse.
Mark Walker. A man terrified by his own supernatural present. Two strangers that must combine their talents to solve a mystery that spans centuries. Their international pursuit of an unimaginable truth will lead them on a dangerous quest – from Los Angeles – to the stormy windswept wilds of northern Britain – then deep into the dark underbelly of Berlin – while relentlessly pursued by an ancient nightmare that cannot possibly exist. As the gruesome body count mounts and old friends are reunited, Eastman and Walker discover that no one is who they appear to be – and the price for the forbidden knowledge they seek could mean their very lives. Or perhaps ultimately something far, far worse.

CRYPTID

severed_press_ — Sat, 05 Sep 2020 10:47:45 +0000

Be careful what you look for. You might just find it.

1996. A group of 14 students walked into the trackless virgin forests of Graham Island, British Columbia for a three-day hike. They were never seen again.

2019. An American TV crew retrace those students’ steps to attempt to solve a 23-year-old mystery.

A disparate collection of characters arrives on the island. But all is not as it seems. Two of them carry dark secrets. Terrible knowledge that will mean death for some – but a fighting chance of survival for others. In the hidden depths of the forests – man is on the menu.

Some mysteries should remain unsolved…
