Night of the Batsquatch

Volcanoes have a long history of giving warnings, and none of them are gentle.

Mount St. Helens is waking, its cratered flanks trembling, and high on the mountain’s timbered shoulders the legend of the Batsquatch refuses to die. Whispered tales speak of a looming winged shadow, of hikers who vanish without a trace, of animal corpses left ravaged and drained, and of stories steeped in ancient blood. Some folks say the creatures rise when the volcano stirs, a harbinger of fire and devastation born from the earth’s fury. Skeptics scoff, and anyone reporting a sighting is branded a cryptid-chasing crackpot.

Liam has spent years guiding tourists through this volatile wilderness, pretending the stratovolcano is merely a landmark and not the source of his father’s secret obsession. He never fully believed the stories, despite the old man’s journal crammed with sketches, omens, and field notes from a hunt for the Batsquatch that never ended.

As seismic tremors rattle the ground and the first hints of an eruption build, a tourist is found torn apart on an observation platform. Rumors spread of a skyborne terror that descends from the smoke. The signs are aligning. Time is bleeding out, and the mountain is calling Liam to finish what his father started.

From the author of TRAGIC: A Cryptid Horror Thriller, HOWLER: Terror in the Ozarks, Crimson Falls: A Monster in the Mist, and Terror Lake comes a new thrilling horror-adventure novel. Fast-paced, tension-filled, and unyielding, Night of the Batsquatch plunges readers into a maelstrom of fire and fury where danger strikes without warning, and no one outruns the inferno.

Abattoir Ocean

There’s blood in the water. Sharks circle. And beneath them, something older and hungrier stirs—the megalodon.

Alex is a horror fan, but nothing on screen prepared him for life as a deckhand on a luxury yacht. Cruising the Great Barrier Reef seems idyllic—until the guests demand shark fin soup. Forced to slaughter the catch, Alex watches the deck run red. But the ocean never forgets. The blood has marked them, and from the depths, an ancient predator awakens.

When the carnage is over, Alex is left scarred, haunted, and determined never to set foot on a boat again. But escape isn’t so easy. His life unravels, his demons tighten their grip, and a blackout drinking binge in Bali ends with him enslaved aboard a brutal fishing vessel. With a sadistic captain at his back and the sea once again beneath his feet, Alex must face both human cruelty and a prehistoric nightmare that refuses to die.

The ocean has claimed him once. The question is—will it let him go again?

Precipice: A Prehistoric Thriller

A Lost World. A Doomed Mission. A Predator on the Hunt.

Disgraced ex-soldier Tom Harrow is out of options—until he joins a crew of cutthroat mercenaries on a desperate quest for a legendary stash of stolen gold.

The catch? It lies beyond a deadly jungle at the bottom of a forgotten precipice—a prehistoric world untouched by time.

The heat is brutal. The bugs are relentless. But none of it compares to what’s really lurking out there.

Dinosaurs. Flesh-hungry. Cold-blooded. Very much alive.

And one of them—the apex predator—is hunting them.

The deeper they go, the bloodier the mission becomes. Because in this lost world, T-Rex still rules the earth.

The Devil’s Peak

The Lost Page Has Been Found.

Crafted 3,500 years ago, the first Bible concealed a dark secret—a missing page, torn from its sacred binding. Rumors claimed it wasn’t penned by a saint or prophet, but by the Devil himself, revealing the gateway to Hell.

In June 2020, a mysterious Middle Eastern earthquake unveiled this long-hidden page, unleashing global terrors: parasitic plagues, grotesque deformities, and monstrous entities rising from the ocean’s abyss—creatures never meant for daylight.

Drake Stoker, a skeptical ex-Reaper Special Forces operative, joins forces with the Templar Knights, a clandestine Vatican order. Driven by personal motives, Drake, alongside the Knights, must locate and seal this infernal portal before Hell spills over and the Devil walks free.

Devil’s Peak, a chilling masterpiece by horror maestro Greig Beck, plunges readers into the seven circles of Hell, redefining the phrase “the flesh is weak” with a terrifying new meaning.
