________________________________

The bodies are just the beginning. Believed at first to be a series of animal attacks, brutal and random, the truth has a way of clawing to the surface.

Now, Detective Jack Hargrave, a man with no time for gods or ghosts, finds himself inexplicably drawn into a series of murders that could rewrite the very meaning of existence. To uncover the truth, he must turn to unlikely allies: you and a psychic with her own haunted past.

Together, you must confront a horror that stretches across state lines, generations, and the very fabric of what it means to be human. As the body count rises, each revelation leads you deeper into a world where the line between predator and prey, man and monster, is razor-thin.

"The bodies were just the beginning…God, help us.”

Josh is into dark tourism. I agreed to go along, but I don't even know what that is. Still, after the time he's had lately...the deaths...it was the least I could do. We weren't even supposed to go inside the caves.

Not after the stories...

But here we are, and we're lost. I've lost them, but I think I hear them somewhere...maybe up ahead...maybe around the corner...shuffling...echoing...

Whispering...
__________________________

Josh Bridges, an experienced dark tourist, has finally convinced his three best friends to accompany him on a camping trip in search of the Murmuring Caves in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. And they'd do anything for their friend...especially since Josh just lost his parents in a horrible house fire.

But when the four campers disregard the park ranger's warning and get lost in the caves, they suddenly realize they aren't alone. And they can't call out for help because what answers them might not be safe...

It might not even be alive.

Will Josh and his friends—Trey, Mandy, and Amber—find out the secrets behind the whispering legends of the Murmuring Caves? Or will their curiosity cost them their lives?

Have you read A Safe Place (A Half-Dead Novella), by E. M. Lacey?

Esperanza Morrison, her young children Hope and Joshua, and their pit bull, Sugar, are moving through a post-apocalyptic urban landscape, dodging Reborns—infected, half-dead victims of a deliberately created epidemic called the Morpheus Strain.

The small family is at great risk: Mrs. Morrison’s husband, Grant, has “turned” and is one of the Reborns. Following his family obsessively and killing all in his path, the former Army Ranger is a huge potential threat to their safety.

The family’s luck seems to change when they take shelter with a group of soldiers and scientists, but when the only female scientist, Dr. Mays, implants tracking nanites under Mrs. Morrison’s skin, the group's true motives begin to surface.

Does Dr. Mays really have the Morrison Family’s best interests at heart?

E.M. Lacey’s tense, fast-paced novella graphically depicts a group of tough multiracial survivors trying to find a safe place in a disturbing new world.

__________________________

Something's wrong in the Ozark Mountains. People are going missing in the caves, and the locals are blaming witches.

But they don't know about the witchmasters.

They've kept watch over the witches, cleaning up after the rebellious ones and their errant ways, like sick cows and failing crops. And they keep tabs on the hidden children, those who have suddenly started seeing the bodies...

The same hidden children who've communicated with the creature preying on this sleepy mountain town...
