For centuries, stories had circulated of an Aztec city so rich that precious gems adorned the buildings and the streets were paved with gold. But like so many Aztec locations, this one had been abandoned and swallowed by the jungle. Since the time of the conquistadors, expeditions have set out to find it. None have ever returned.

At their antique shop in 1938, Rick and Rose Sinclair come across what may be a map to the lost City of Gold in an Aztec artifact. The adventurous husband implores his more level-headed wife that this is their opportunity to become rich. She sees it as a chance for a great historical discovery, and agrees. They and pilot pal Humphrey Custis set out for unexplored Mexico.

The three arrive in a jungle filled with perils. Deadly jaguars, killer spiders, and hostile locals all attack at every turn. Rick and Rose soon discover terrifying details about the lost city, including inhabitants that only walked the night and feasted on sacrifices of human blood. The dangers keep multiplying and the Sinclairs are in over their heads. Will they join the list of explorers who died in a search for the City of Gold?

Apex Apocalypse

severed_press_ — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 02:44:18 +0000

Monsters are real.

Great White sharks lurk off popular beaches – killer crocodiles and man-eating pythons prowl the Everglades.

But for Abigail O’Neil, raised on the swamp, the most terrifying monster was her own father – a black-market croc-farmer notorious for feeding unwary victims to his jagged-toothed pets.

Growing-up privy to unspeakable horror, when Abigail finally fled home, she thought she’d left it all behind.

But now someone is stalking her – and they know all her deepest, darkest secrets.

There are always worse monsters – bigger sharks – larger crocodiles.

And there is always one more human-monster deadlier than the last.

Now Abigail must find the monster in herself.

Or she won’t survive the Apex Apocalypse.

“Help me, it’s Ally. Please help me.”
A ghostly, sobbing voice is detected from the depths of Russia’s Kola super deep borehole – 9 miles down. A Russian team is dispatched in a desperate rescue mission to find the woman. But how did she get there? Meanwhile, the Americans prepare their own expedition after a new rift leading to the center of the Earth has been discovered at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific Ocean. Mike Monroe and Jane Baxter agree to accompany the team of soldiers and scientists to seek a compound that is potentially a cure for cancer… a cancer that is slowly eating away at them, and the legacy of their time in the boiling red hell at the core of the planet. Now, a two-pronged mission seeks answers from the Earth’s interior, a place of impenetrable jungles, fallen kingdoms, and monstrous creatures that have never been seen on the surface and have evolved into nightmarish, deadly forms. But there is something else – a mountainous ancient being that is as old as the world and has been awaiting them. And this time will not let them leave. Escape from the Center of the Earth is the final edition of the blockbusting Center Earth trilogy and closes the series with a climax that will blow reader’s minds.

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…
