Nine-year-old Cindy Ann Biggs knew things no one else knew; saw things no one
else saw. Ever since she had nearly died of typhoid fever, the gift of second
sight had been hers. Only it didn't seem like such a gift when the kids at
school or the citizens of Coleman, Tennessee treated her like an outcast... or
much worse. Or when her visions resembled nothing so much as her worst
nightmares.
Then her older brother, Johnny, disappeared in the vicinity of the old tobacco
barn. And Cindy's visions began to burn with a bloodthirsty, relentless hatred.
What horrors lay buried in the cold earth of the old barn? And how could one
innocent little girl hope to fight the terrifying evil - an evil that had taken
her brother, and that would now turn on the only witness to its monstrous,
merciless crimes - Cindy herself!
They were called diablos hoyos...pit devils. Vicious, black-furred beasts that
fought in the pit with the raw fury and savage ferocity of Satan himself. For
their owners they were a lucrative investment. For the folks of Sulphur
Springs, Texas, they were the best entertainment they'd had in a long while.
For Bowie Kane they were his darkest nightmare come true. He alone recognized
the dark and ravenous evil that his Apache ancestors had foretold. But Bowie
Kane was an outsider in Sulphur Springs. No one would listen to his warnings.
And now it was too late to avert the rampage of carnage and terror unleashed on
an unsuspecting town.
It was passed down from generation to generation. The legend of the Dark'Un,
the strange beast that roamed Pale Dove Mountain. The dark and menacing
shape-shifter that none had ever seen - at least not and lived to tell about
it---except, so it was said, old Fletcher Brice, who lived at the foot of the
mountain.
No one really believed in the Dark'Un. It was just a story to make a child's
flesh crawl. Until Old Man Brice died. Now the people of Tucker's Mill,
Tennessee, would be forced to believe.
Their kind once ruled the Emerald Isle - with black terror. They spilled hot
gore under the full moon and cracked human bones to feast on the living marrow.
But Ireland cast these wolf-beasts out and the shapechanging clan of the Howler
was forced to move their hunting ground to the new world...
Now the werewolves roam in Old Hickory, Tennessee, preserving their eternal
youth on a gruesome diet of human flesh. Once a lunar month, when the moon
swells bright, the Howler's eerie cry shatters the night!
The citizens of Cedar Bluff, Tennessee have never recovered from the Christmas
Massacre of 1978... that tragic day when Richard McFarland, armed with a
shotgun, abandoned his wife and young son and selected a rural church for a
bloody, murderous rampage. McFarland paid for his crimes in the electric chair.
Yet not even death will stop him from finishing what he started...
After fourteen years, Sonny's father is back. He'd been away so long that Sonny
hardly remembered him. But Richard McFarland remembered his only son. And now
he will teach him how to kill. Sonny is about to become a deadly force that
will be unleashed on the unsuspecting citizens of Cedar Bluff. For when the
time is right, he will return to the quiet Tennessee town, bringing death and
destruction on an even more terrifying Christmas Day!
1864: A Confederate soldier named Braxton Heller returns home from battle to

location on the plantation of Magnolia. For days he digs the battle-scarred
earth, but succumbs to pneumonia before he can locate her remains. When he dies

soul isn't there...
1994: It's supposed to be the start of a new beginning for best-selling author
Laura Locke and her husband, Rick, when they buy and restore a burned-down
Tennessee plantation. Yet from the moment they move in, weird things start to
happen. Laura's personality and looks change. Rick becomes obsessed with guns
and Civil War history. And their sex life takes on a violent edge. Only when
it's too late does the final piece of a terrifying puzzle fall into place and a
chilling nightmare that began over a century before hurtles toward a horrifying
climax!
It was a legend in Fear County... a hideous, flesh-eating creature - part
snake, part earthbound demon - that feasted on the blood of innocent children
in the cold black heart of the Tennessee backwoods.
But ten-year-old Jeb Sweeny knows the horrible stories are true. His best
friend Mandy just up and disappeared. He also knows that no one has ever had
the courage to go after the monster and put an end to its raging, bestial
hunger. Until now.
But Evil is well guarded. And for young Jeb Sweeny, who is about to cross over
into the forbidden land of Fear County and the lair of the unknown, passage
through the gates of Hell comes with a terrible price. Everlasting...FEAR!
The vampire curse of the Cravens ended over a century ago when Josiah Craven
was buried in an unmarked grave with a stake driven through his heart. But the
evil is revived when an unsuspecting Craven descendant unearths the remains of
Grandpappy Craven and unleashes his thirst for blood and carnage on the
citizens of Green Hollow, Tennessee.
As the kinfolk of the Craven family are initiated into the bloodthirsty clan by
their long-dead ancestor, only Boyd Andrews and a small band of willing
individuals are prepared to lay their necks - and their lives - on the line to
make sure that the Craven curse is finally laid to rest for good!
