THE MALICE
​
There’s a monster in the woods that surround the little city of Dent that grinds its teeth on young white bones and craves boy flesh. When Michael decides to penetrate the dense Ozark Mountain’s with his dog, Gus, he’s determined to uncover the truth about what’s been feasting on the city since long before his great grandpa moved there. What he discovers makes the Lovecraftian horror tales he reads in secret look like Dr. Seuss chapter books.

The Storm Seller
​​
Described by one editor as "wickedly Faustian" and "chilling," The Storm Seller is a tale of magical realism and horror; the result is a picture of two boys that sacrifice more than they could ever know to spend a single day together in the sun.
