At any given moment, the human body contains millions of parasites.
This is the story of just one.
A really, really nasty one.
Benjamin Wilson was having a lousy month even before the stomach pains
began. He was about to turn forty. One of his students had been shot
while on a homicidal meat cleaver rampage. And shortly after the
funeral, Benjamin didn't feel so good...
Now everything is changing. His body is being affected in some very
unpleasant ways. His personality is developing a few "quirks." But the
biggest change is that he has a bunch of evil and/or psychotic people
trying to hunt him down to acquire the parasite. His only hope is Julie,
a gorgeous bounty hunter who may or may not have Benjamin's best
interests in mind, and who may or may not be competent enough to help
him anyway.
Jeff Strand, author of The Sinister Mr. Corpse, Gleefully Macabre
Tales, and Pressure, delivers his most outrageous adventure yet-an
over-the-top mix of gruesome body horror and a wacky road trip comedy.

Of Sudden Origin
Call them zombies if you must; America, is at the mercy of a ruthless infection that devolves the intellect into that of a simian fiend. Horrible, yes, merciless, yes, blood thirsty, unquestionably - but it is the offspring of the infected who will change the world: The children of the Fiends are a mutant mind controlling abomination, and there is no defense against them.
Jon Washington is one misstep from being torn apart, eaten alive or becoming a psychotic killer. Broken down in a New Hampshire forest with millions of psychopathic Americans marching on his heals, he meets Nikki Rosen, a disgraced Marine. Together they will cross a crucible of challenges that has outwitted and killed the most resilient among us. In an effort to solve what is being called The Cain’s pandemic, a Hot Zone Team of CDC scientists backed by Special Forces will go to Florida. Along the way they will stare into the the very face of evil. Happenstance combines these disparate groups into an explosive conclusion. Will any survive?
Children of Fiends
An epic exploration into the very heart of darkness, Children of Fiends is a tale of intrigue, murder, madness and mayhem - where Man may no longer be the dominant species on Earth.
Ten years have passed since the modern world was riddled with FNDz (Frontal Negation Dementia) and North America fought to the edge of extinction. America has folded in on itself in perfect isolation. Infected but medically stabilized people live in exile, and beyond the wall known as the Terminus, a new species of Man is growing stronger every day.
On the isolated Mid-Atlantic peninsula of Delmarva, a splinter group of Americans led by a man without morals, have created their own nation. A group of them will follow a team of Northern explorers into the very heart of darkness, awakening the new species to the competition that Homo Sapiens really are. Views: 35

Edgar Award-winner and fan favorite Joe R. Lansdale is back with Hap and Leonard's latest caper: investigating the disappearance of a revivalist cult leader's daughter. Hap and Leonard are an unlikely pair-Hap, a self-proclaimed white trash rebel, and Leonard, a tough-as-nails black gay Vietnam vet and Republican-but they're the closest friend either of them has in the world. Hap is celebrating his wedding to his longtime girlfriend, Brett (who is also Hap and Leonard's boss), when their backyard barbecue is interrupted by a couple of Pentecostal white supremacists. They're not too happy to see Leonard, and no one is happy to see them, but they have a problem and only Hap and Leonard will take the case.Judith Mulhaney's daughter, Jackrabbit, has been missing for five years. Well, she's been missing from them for five years, but she's been missing from everybody, including the local no-goods who ran with her, for a few months. Despite their misgivings about Judith and her son, Hap and Leonard take the case. It isn't long until they find themselves mixed up in a revivalist cult that believes Jesus will return flanked by an army of lizard-men-- solving a murder to boot. With Lansdale's trademark humor, whip-smart dialogue, and plenty of ass-kicking adventures to be had, you won't want to miss Hap and Leonard's latest.**Review"Part of what makes this book exceptional is the way Lansdale portrays the long legacy of race and class discrimination as the characters' lived experience. . . . Lansdale is one of a kind, with a deceptively folksy and funny voice that hides real darkness; fans of the eponymous SundanceTV series will be delighted to find the books are even better."―Booklist (starred review) "Raucous . . . As always, Lansdale provides a wild, fun ride with an astute eye on social issues."―Publishers Weekly "Fans of the books and Sundance TV series will eagerly follow the men through their latest, politically timely hullabaloo."―Library Journal Praise for Joe R. Lansdale
