So much screaming.

Roger Huntington is home from college for the summer, and he and his best friend, Tooth, can’t wait to start having fun. It’s going to be a summer full of beer, comic books, movies, laughs, parties and maybe even girls.

So much pain.

The sun is high and the sky is clear as Roger and Tooth set out to shoot beer cans at Bobcat Mountain. Just two friends catching up on lost time, two friends thinking about their futures, two friends—

So much blood.

—suddenly thrust in the middle of a nightmare. Forced to fight for their lives against a sadistic killer. A killer with an arsenal of razor-sharp blades and a hungry dog.

So much death.

If they are to survive, they must decide: are heroes born, or are they made? Or is something more powerful happening to them? And more importantly, how do you survive when all roads lead to . . . death!

Per the reviews this is supposed to be very gory but with good story and character development.

Premier Digital Publishing is offering three Robert Masello titles for $.99 each:

The Spirit Wood

IT WAS SUBLIME, EROTIC, EVIL. IT WAS THE CALL OF HIS OWN BLOOD…

When Peter Constantine inherited a vast, remote estate, his life began to change. Free at last from money worries, Peter and his wife, Meg, could relax – and Peter could explore his new, mysterious home. From the thick woods, the winding trails, the bizarre, sensual sculpture, came a pulsing, ancient call that stirred his very depths. Then he heard the music, and saw the beautiful woman who beckoned him into the woods…into an ancient ritual, a blood curse, a world of violent, unbridled lust.

Now his wife no longer knows him. Now Peter is transformed…into a pagan creature, driven by the suffocating need of animal desire…until pleasure is not enough, and no evil is forbidden, in…THE SPIRIT WOOD.

But worst of all, the tortured souls of the dead – including his own mother – are reaching out from the void, luring him over into the eternal domain, transforming his gift into the ultimate curse. Living or dead, they struggle to seize and control the secret that lies beyond the . . . BLACK HORIZON.
