Azarius

First book in The Aimsley Cycle Something was stalking Jennifer. Threatening phone calls, strange noises in the night, a feeling that someone was watching, waiting. No matter how much police protection her rich father provided, no matter how much comfort she got from the nice young man next door, her terror grew. She got a guard dog. A bodyguard. Still, the gloved hand holding the bloody knife slipped through a crack in her bedroom door. And the name Azarius began to be whispered. Was it the name of an angel, or was it a much more sinister force plaguing the formerly peaceful town of Aimsley, Louisiana? There was no escaping the power…the bloodshed…the horror. It started with the death of a priest and a name written in the priest’s blood on the wall of the church: Azarius.

Night Brothers

The drought-stricken Louisiana town of Bristol Springs was turning into a living grave. Little by little its desperate citizens were watching their dreams die. But the terrible blight was bringing something else to life–a deadly horror far worse than any earthly bane. A vampire as old as time with powers greater than mere legend, she summoned the beasts of the night to serve her foul will. Fierce, relentless, they made humans their unnatural prey, leaving them helpless victims of her endless blood-thirst… Now she is growing stronger, insidiously gathering followers, drawing ever closer to completing an unspeakable ritual of nightmare. Only a few townspeople suspect the unthinkable truth; fewer still will try to stop her monstrous plan. But they will be forced to use nature’s most savage forces to turn the tide–in a battle where the choice is between eternal torment–or hellish oblivion…

‘NIGHT BROTHERS – A VAMPIRE NOVEL’ is an exemplary horror thriller, a chilling blend of straight-up occult horror with the pacing and excitement of an action thriller. The pace accelerates smoothly and in the story’s latter stages moves to its climax at breakneck speed.
